Close up on Green Anaconda

[Robin.M]

Snapped this pic with my phone. It baffles me how good cameras are on phones nowadays!

Nemee, my 2013 female Green Anaconda. The absolute sweetest, most docile snake I own.

I hope she gets huge for you! None of this 8 - 10 foot 6 year old greens being bred.

She'll grow how she grows. If she ends up being 16 feet, then I'll love it and if she only ends up being 10 feet I'll love it too.

Contrary to popular belief there aren't many HEALTHY female Greens out there that are over 14 feet. Most are powerfed to become like that. Most adults I've seen are very girthy and heavy, but only 11 or 12 foot.

I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

Now that's not saying there aren't giants out there of 15feet +, but it isn't common.

It's kind of like humans. Sure there are humans that are 8 foot tall and one that reached 9 foot, but that wouldn't make us start saying, "Well humans grow to between 6 to 9Feet tall.

I find large snake keepers always want to impress with numbers so if they've seen an 18.foot 400 pound Green Anaconda before then they'll start saying, "Oh ya dude, she'll grow to almost 20 feet and 500 pounds and I'll have to feed her cows"... That's where most of the misconceptions about snakes come from I think, from the very people who raise these animals.

I concur.

Majority tend to be nitwits. I like to call them meatheads though.

It's misperceptions like that that make them illegal to own here in Iowa.

At least you can have Burms there :/ 8' is the legal limit here.
