Anyone have personal experience breeding yellow annies? I currently have a pair and in the future would love to breed them. I know the potential of their size theres no need to inform me of that or question if I can handle their young. Im curious what size enclosure would you keep your females in to make the best suitable breeding environment. Im asking for no criticizing comments only advice please.
thanks

The best is the biggest. So as big as you can go. If I were to get a yellow annie i'd give it atleast 8 x 4 of floor space.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was talking to a friend of mine that has bred them before and I suggested an 8x4x3 to him he said the same thing you did.

Keep in mind their addition to the Lacey Act means it will be illegal to sell to anyone out of your state.
I agree, a very large enclosure will be needed, possibly larger than 8x4. If I've read correctly, breeding anacondas will require a water area big enough for all the animals to swim in at once, since breeding will usually occur in the water. You will also often need to put in more than one male to stimulate breeding, in the wild each female is generally courted and bred by a large number of males at the same time.
