I doubt it. There care really isn't that hard.

But hasn't it been said most captive snakes are overweight? At least, that's what I recall reading on here.

The question wasnt directed towards you Corey, but thank you for your assumptions. The question was for the op, so please let him answer.

Many people have anaconda's that are docile with correct temps / humidity.

@jarich, they're not assumptions. Go to any forum that has a lot of anaconda keepers or read any reputable care sheet.

You were assuming that your answers are why I asked the question. It was not. Therefore you made incorrect assumptions.

If I would have never said anything I can almost guarantee that question would have turned into "You've only had a (Op's snake)? Anaconda's are known to blah this and blah that."

I don't see why what he said was a problem?

I guess we'll never know now, will we?

Poison123, I dont have a major problem with what Corey said, within proper context. However, I didn't ask Corey, and there was a point to why I asked the op. Which is now lost, obviously.

From what he said on herpcenter he has had one in the past.

Well the only problem I'd see with keeping an anaconda would be a female green. They get massive and really heavy bodied which means one mistake like leaving the scent of a feeder on you could result in some serious damage if you don't handle the situation properly. But anyone with an anaconda that big should have another person with them at all times when trying to handle it.

He's had a lot of things in the past, hasn't he? And isn't he only 15? Unless you're talking about the OP.

Corey, Im not trying to be mean man, but this is part of the problem with many of your posts. Simply because you cant see it, or understand it, doesnt mean there isn't still a very good reason. You have a very limited amount of experience and knowledge, and you have difficulty seeing past your own perspective, so please try harder to learn and less hard to show others youre right.

And yes Maggot, Poison123 was talking about the OP.

I haven't been posting anything I don't know recently but you can read any forum about Anaconda's and they're not high maintenance snakes. They grow slow and captives can be very docile. Humidity / heat requirements aren't bad and yellows / male greens do not become giants like the female greens. If you can tell me how I'm wrong in anyway but that you think I shouldn't use an opinion based on facts please do.

I still consider a yellow anaconda a large snake.
