Hi there!I've a young green male (about 4'), this is my first conda after tons of bci and molurus (lol). I am just curious about the male lenght.I know that a green male could grow to 10' and more..the female can be really a monster I know!But on this site I red that also the yellow male can reach 10'!so..talkin' about male condas..they are almost alike?tnx

The largest male yellow that I have seen a record for taken in its natural range was right at 8 feet. In captivity, the upper maximum size limit for a male yellow is probably close to 10 feet. Male greens in their natural habitat average between 8 and 10 feet as adults with exceptionally large ones approaching 12 feet. The upper size potential for any male green in captivity is probably between 10 and 12 feet. Regarding male anacondas, captive specimens usually run slightly larger than their wild counterparts in most cases. I have a male green that just turned 3 years of age, which is currently right at 9 feet. He was fed fairly well during his first 2 years, but since then I have reduced his feeding to one large meal per month to avoid any obesity issues. It will be interesting to see his growth trajectory of the next few years. So you are correct in that you don’t see the size disparity between male yellow and greens that you see between the females of each species.

Oh great yellow male!Who has a pic of really huge green males?I just saw "monster females" (lol..)

He was at 11.5 feet, 65 pounds and about 13 years of age in this photo, and had produced two litters for us.

This guy was 2 years old and about 8 feet when this photo was taken. He is just about as docile as his dad; as calm as they come.
