how big does a male and female cross between green and yellow conda get to be
?

Nobody knows...there is none yet into adulthood. Biggest one I have seen was between 7 and 8 ft and thick. It is not an animal you want because you have no idea if it will live long and it could be sterile and you will not easily get rid of it.

I have a pair of the crosses. Mine are about a year and a half and the male is around 7ft and the female is about 9ft. Mine are really nasty, but in my eyes they are awsome looking snakes. I also have 3 green anacondas, a male that is 7ft and 2 females 14ft and 13ft, but I dont think the crosses are going to get as big as the greens. Hope this helps

Seeems to be like a dwarf anaconda =D..well not really...i seen some of these crosses and all of them at more of the green influence..so seems like they get bigger than yellows smaller than green's...

YOU HAVE GOT TO SEE THIS ONE !
When I went by the shop(with the x breed advertised in the classifieds)I was shocked !,Its big ,thickand a green yellow color,the markings though are pure green anaconda!even the eye stripe !All in all ,one amazing snake,go see it !

I will be busy going to see the Iguana X Caimen hybrid at the 'breaking all the laws of nature' expo. Its gonna be awesome. Dr. Moreau is gonna be a guest speaker.

I am not all for it but there are hybrids that are pretty amazing...ex ligers....it would be kind of cool if they found a way to cross a snake that got twice as big as both species they were crossing. It is starting to look like the dog world too...Remember my murinus x kaouthia which would lead to more crosses creating the super snake.

Yeah I remember that post. I know that my opinion isnt going to stop people from crossing everything they can to maybe get an extra buck or two. I was just making a point.
I guess I'm just of the opinion that nature does a real good job at what it does without any assistance. Mankind usually ends up screwing everthing up when we try to mess with it. I guess the conda crosses have a better possibly of naturally occuring then some of the hybrids around (I believe its been theorized that some of the other conda species may have developed by a distant cross) but to deliberately do it I still believe is really irresponsible.
I imagine it will probably be like the dog breeds in years down the line. Then the hybrids will be called their correct name though, "muts". Hopefully then, like in dog breeds, purebloods will command the respect and admiration they deserve. I can't think of another group of animals that is regularly bred that muts are worth anything near a pureblood. Only snakes. Dogs nope, cats nope, birds nope, fish nope, etc.
Anyway, this issue has been discussed to death so I'm done rambling.

My 2 cents,

but many people love their muts...and the smartest dog I have seen (or just the most worked with) was a mut named skidboot. Yep..there's texans for ya

I know lots of people love their dogs (muts) and I think that's great. My point was just simply that among serious dog breeders, purebreds are a lot more desirable. They even have the AKC to give them papers proving the bloodline is pure. Maybe we need an 'AKC' type society to trace lineage for herps. If we dont now we as a group will need one in the future.
