new yellow pics...

[ding ding]

the little yellow shed over the weekend too so managed to get a few snaps of her, she made life a bit difficult tho as i startled her when trying to find her a she was all burrowed away sleeping so she took a couple of swipes at me, lucky for me she missed but unluckily for her she got a mouthfull of bark which i had to fish out with a pair of tweezers but thankfully she took this quite well.

i made the mistake once before of putting this girl in a tub while doing maintenance in her tank and she came out like a lunatic so now we have an understanding and she coils up around my arm while i do everything from changing substrate to washing out water bowls and generally running about the house, this is anaconda bracelet...

thanks for looking...

[ZARADOZIA]

She's very pretty.

[ding ding]

thank you very much...

[alessia55]

cute! How big will she get??

[ding ding]

thanks, she could potentially reach 12ft but i highly doubt this, her mother was 7 years old and around 8-9ft, the sire was a bit smaller so i would expect her to get to around the 8-9ft mark.

[ding ding]

thanks man...

[spots]

Very nice looking snake :) Like the snake bracelet

[ding ding]

thank you very much, yea she would sit there all day if i let her lol...

[BarelyBreathing]

She's gorgeous. I'm a bit jealous.

[exwizard]

Nice! The irridescence is amazing! Reminds me of a Brazilian.

[DeesBalls]

Very nice lookimg. The irradesents does look like a brb a lot.... Why the gloves?

[Kayla90]

... Incase she bites I assume.. Annie can have quite the nasty bite, they probably have great jaw power just like retics??

[ding ding]

Thanks for the kind words folks. Yea the i colours that bounce off her in the right light is awesome. I am wearing the gloves for pure hygiene purposes as i was cleaning her tank out as she made quite a bit of mess when shedding. I dont use gloves when handling even the feisty ones dont feel comfortable wearing them would rather take the bite.

that is what i thought. but also curious because i wear gloves wit my BRB... shes gotten pretty pissy latley, well over the last year... and i also heard that the rubber the gloves are made from have a really bad taste, and the snakes generally learn not to bite because of them, no clue if it true, but thats what i head.

Ding she looking good and getting bigger.:) About how long is she now?

I know a guy who wears the latex gloves when handling babies. He said if they bite they will only do it a couple times as they don't like the taste. He swore it was the easiest way to break them of biting when handle. In his 9 years of breeding he only been bit once by a snake over 6 months old.

I personally don't like gloves even with a bitey snake. You just don't have as much control over the snake when handling.

If it "teaches" them not to bite daddy, it aint a bad thing Marvel.

Thanks man shes around 3 ft at the min, got her over onto decent size rats easy enough so shes gets one every 2 weeks as it takes a good 5 days for the bump to disappear. And yea man i only wear the latex gloves when cleaning not for handling. I cant stand gloves when handling snakes- soo hard to judge grip and you cant feel what the snake is doing. Plus i tried gloves with a monster ATB i had, she bit the glove and got teeth caught in the fibres. Wasnt fun tryin to unhook her so just not worth it at all and safer for the snake.

Jaw power and raw power. Where a boa or python will bite a through a couple coils around something Anacondas will wrap their whole body around it.

True but with babies it makes it hard to tell if i am holding them to tight. I have a bad habit of not knowing my own strength and i am afraid of hurting them.
