Question for Ben Renick

joepat Aug 13, 2005 01:03 AM

Ben,
I have to ask you where you got that anery anaconda (if you can let that info out). I would love to have one of those someday when i get the room for one. If you can give the info out please let me know my email is patrick.derr@gmail.com if you prefer to do it that way. No problem if you cant i can understand if they dont want people bugging them about it. They look to be pretty rare (this is the first i have heard of them)

thanks,

patrick

lol, It's alright, but there isn't any information to give you on it... It's an import, I got it from a guy that got it from the importer... Once the Anaconda is large enough though, I will be giving my hand at breeding him. But basically, this was just a luck type of thing, only one was found. This little one is just such an awesome import, it almost seems C/b. No parasites, already feeding on f/t, very tame, no scars what so ever, very young. Sorry though, unless there is another one found or bred out... there isn't really any info to give you..

Thanks anyway. I will have to keep my eye out in a few years. That is one wicked looking snake. I was reading your post when you got it and you said that you paid $1500 and had to promise some babies too. Do you have any idea what the will be going for once there are a few out there?

Yeah, but money wise I got it pretty cheap. They usually run about $4000-5000 each... I don't know how much I would charge for mine whenever I breed it... It really depends on how many I get and everything, so.. time will tell!
