Yellow Anaconda wanted

I live in CT and want to get a yellow anaconda but cant find anywhere that will sell me one. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

They were added to the lacey act at one point... I'm not sure if that is still in effect. If it is, then you cannot transport them across state borders, and that would mean you would need to buy locally.

Re: Yellow Anaconda wanted

good luck...with the federal rule change, it's going to be quite a challenge to find one within your own state, since its illegal to transport them across state lines.

Im pretty sure they are still part of the Lacey Act. I know someone in NC that sells them, but it is only to those that live in NC.

Yes, it is still in effect.

Unless you live in a state that sells them. Doesn't matter if you drive there. You can't transport them across state lines.

Re: Yellow Anaconda wanted

the husbandry isn't the issue...a lot of the annies I've met are cage aggressive, and pack a nasty bite. you ever seen how many teeth they have!?!?

I'm currently keeping a green annie for someone which is nicer then my ATB ever was and from every source I've read CB don't usually give problems.

Anaconda - Imgur

The bite at the bottom was when he first arrived stressed out, he's been calm since.

Re: Yellow Anaconda wanted

I know somebody who keeps a few annie's they are all calm except for one green. From my understanding cb babies are easy to tame if starting from a young age. But i have never kept them.

Re: Yellow Anaconda wanted

Could it be like monitors - they're docile if they're too fat or have improper temps or humidity?
