Prehistoricpets.com has what they are calling a hypo-yellow anaconda for sales for $2795 with a normal sibling. Is this worth the money; especially for later breeding?

Also, I have read of high-orange green anacondas but have been unable to locate a photo - does anyone have one that they can post? I would appreciate the help on these questions.

no its not worth it. all of pps animals r infested with mites and r in bad shape also everything is over priced. its not worth for later breeding.
high-orange greens who have u herd this from? My female Anna and gavins girl shows some nice orange colors but it will fad with age.

I was reading something from an internet site and it said that there are some greens known to be "high-orange". Never heard it which is why I asked the question. I will try and find the exact source. I have been to so many different sites and read so much.

there is alot of bad information out there about anacondas. i try not to look around sites about anacondas becouse most get me very mad. this also gose with any information with large snakes its always going to bad info and crazy storys of 30 foot long snakes.

I have seen a few photos in the past of greens that I believe are what some people refer to as high-orange anacondas. They are greens with an unusually large amount of red and orange coloration around the head and face and specifically in the postocular stripe region. Additionally, the bright yellow areas of the lateral blotches and ventral surfaces in a typical green anaconda are more of an orange-yellow color in these snakes. I have not seen any in many years and it has yet to be proven if it breeds true and is passed on to the offspring, although there is a good chance that it probably would if both parents carried the trait. Unfortunately I do not have any photos to post, but will do so if I ever come across any again. A real specimen of this color trait is truly spectacular, much better looking in my opinion than any of the other genetic variations seen in anacondas.
