I got a couple of new pics from my Green x Yellow Anaconda. I finally got some natural lighting instead of flash. These show more of her true color.

Thanks for looking!

Do green's and yellow's hybridize in the wild where their ranges overlap? Do they overlap? I admittedly know rather little about this species in nature.

No, I don't think there have been any known cases of Greens and Yellows breeding in the wild. Their paths don't overlap at all in the wild (as far as I know).

in the brazilian pantanal region. I have not heard reports one way or the other to determine whether these two subspecies interbred in their natural habitat. I would be interested to know if anyone else has read anything on this.

I would also assume it is possible for E. beniensis to mix with notaeus. With their rather limited range and numbers I would suspect some males have found their way to a female notaeus ready to breed.

But I am also willing to bet the habbits of anacondas and their breeding balls would make sure a small chance of success for a different species to get in.

Or we could look at it the other way and see the possibilities of the smaller notaeus males reaching beniensis females first and having success. But not knowing to much about the size diversity in E. beniensis this would be a shot in the dark theory as well.

Stranger things in nature have happened.

It would probably be safe to assume E. deschauenseii has not bred with E. notaeus or E. beniensis. At least in a LONG LONG time.

Just some thoughts : )

Man, I can't believe I have never heard any of this before (and I even own an offspring of the coincidence)! All the stuff I read never said anything about them crossing eachothers paths, but I guess that's pretty dumb to assume that one wouldn't wonder off in the first place.. Does anyone have any sources of the info? If not that's cool too. Thanks Eunectes and Kelly for the correction!
