Thanks. I like to point out that Anacondas like Retics seem to have a higher intelligence level than most snakes. In the picture were the snake hook is in front of him. He was starting to head were i didn't want him to go so i put it in front of him and tapped it once on the ground and he stopped. When i tapped it the second time he turn around and headed the opposed direction. I have train him to do this when i clean his cage. I will tap the hook twice on the side i want to clean and he goes to the other side of the cage, and sit and watch me clean it.

I believe with out a doubt that my Yellow is the fast moving snake i ever owned. Took him out for a photo shoot and put him on a branch i keep in the snake room. I step back to take a picture and looked away for 5 seconds. He flies up the branch to the ceiling threw a hole above some duct work that i didn't even know was there. Into the next room then wedges himself between the ceiling and duct work.

So i tried misting him to see if that would get him to move, but he just sat there. I keep trying to work his body out but there were to many things for him to wrap around. So finally i put a pair of gloves on and went for his head. This got him striking at me. Each time he strike i would back up a little more. This made him have to come out more and more. When he was striking with about half is body i grabbed behind his head a took a bite to the glove but was able to work him the rest of the way out. Took him back to his cage where he hid in the back for two days. I felt so bad for stressing them out. Then it rain the next morning i went in to the snake room to catch him just finishing shedding.

So here's some new pictures. has he was finishing his shed.

He does really good until i put him down. Then he runs for it every time. What sucked was he hasn't even try to bite in over a year. But i had to provoke him to bite so he loosen his grip and come out so i could get him with hurting him. I still feel so bad about doing it.

That's because they are usually Greens. Plus wild snake tend to be darker as the are in the sun a lot more, so the have better tans. lol But seriously it help them bend in better.

I think it's the beady eyes and weird shaped mouth. That always have that i want to eat you look. As for size he between 5.5 to 7 feet. It's really hard to get him to stretch out.

So i upgraded him to a 8 foot cage and got him a new much bigger water bowl. It's been a while since he been able to to completely submerge in his old one.

Lot better than it use to be. With moving my snake room around and moving all my snakes into bigger cages he gotten taking out a few times this last couple weeks without in problem. As long as i keep handling short and sweet he stays mellow.
