i may be getting an anaconda...

[aj099]

hey so i got an offer today to trade one of my snake`s for a 4 foot male green anaconda that is supposed to be tame.

any advice? im am very excite!:yes:

[Lankyrob]

Are you prepared for the size etc? Got a big enough viv and or space for an adult?

If so then good luck and dont forget the pics!!! :)

[ding ding]

i will wish you good luck sir if you decide to take it on, i picked one up before xmas and he was a bit of a lunatic... i had to change my whole approach to how i go about touching, moving and handling my guy compared to how i approach and work with all my other snakes...

i would advise going to meet this snake or other condas if possible or you will end up like me, losing alot of blood lol. i thought my yellow would have prepared me but clearly not.

thats not to say it wont be a nice snake just be very aware of how quick they can be to bite with showing no warning signs whatsoever...

They do get big but they grow really slow, i been thinking about getting one but i hear they smell.

[SnakeyJay]

Goodluck.... If having a "tame" snake is important to you, then from what I've been told you may be disappointed... Pics if you do get him tho :D

[FangsAnarchy]

Make sure it is infact a male. There is a HUGE size difference between male and female. Other than that meeting it first is good advice to see how "tame" it really is since they can be agressive snakes.

[aj099]

hey yeah i am ready for the size of it i really do not mind getting bit at all
my python bite`s me all the time . i am a 6 foot 300 pound guy it will take the snake awhile to be able to take me down! and i will put pic`s up as soon as i can!!

It doesn't smell any worth that a Bloods or when other snakes musk.

OP what's kind of snakes do you have now?

[aj099]

hey i own a almost 5 foot female red tail boa and a 2 foot male argentine boa who live in a big custom built cabinet .trust me i will build somthing huge for the conda!


here are 2 picture`s from the owner

he is male and 4 foot long age im not sure
he is supposed to be tame and used to being handled

[ding ding]

looks like a nice conda there mate, i would go for a wee handling session with it before comitting to taking it. if its as calm as he says it is the guy shouldnt mind.

just remember these guys can bend their heads 90 degrees either side so can pretty much tag you from any angle lol... makes things quite interesting...

[aj099]

thank`s man it`s actually a women that own`s it and she only speak`s french so the comunication is a little hard :no:

[ding ding]

lol that could make interesting negotiations, you should bring along a translater. do you know why she wants to part with the conda? might be a clue to what its really like...

[aj099]

she is actually a model im guessing the snake is just getting to big for her

[SnakeyJay]

There's a lot of people out there that are just trying to unload an aggressive/defensive animal... Careful.

[aj099]

i think if this chick can handle it i can to! haha

[ding ding]
