Yellow male top out about 7 to 8 feet and females 10 to 12 feet. In greens Male top out about 10 to 14 and females any where between 16 to 24 most the time. I just seen pics on another site of a 9 year old yellow male that was only about 6 feet. Green tend to be a bit more mellow. With yellows you either have a mellow snake or psyhco with a mouth like a chainsaw. There's really not many that fall in the middle or a least that's what most people say. But people who have actually work with them from the time they're babies will say about 80% of them are tame. Just like bloods and ETB and GTP they get a bad wrap. If people work with them from the time they're little you can usually be tame them down.

sounds cool... i take it that theyre quite active snakes? large vivs needed?... been looking into jungle carpets and redtails aswell..... think that maybe in a few years a jungle mite be the way to go.... bigger flat needed first, and more experience.

Mine very active. I'll find him out moving around a least a couple times a day. Super active at night.

Shaun he already taking one extra small rat every week. I have a feeling he going to be a big one. He already becoming a chunky one. We just sold all the game out of the kids gameroom in the basement. They never play with it any way. So this is going to become my Snakeroom. It's 9 1/2 feet x 27 feet. Over the winter i am going to get it all set up. Start working on my anaconda cage. Give me something to do to kill time while i am stuck in the house over the winter. I am goin to put a sink in down there to. Thanks to Percey i have a couple cool ideas for his cage.

i was looking at a reptile expo show's pics on a differant forum and i seen pics of yellow anacondas for sale, toronto can have yellow's but BC cant..... but on the bright side your made those ones look like dirt.

for real tho your yellow is amazing looking. these ones were not very bright and the patterns just didnt seem so clean.

That the Hypo from his dad coming threw. The guy i got him from had pics of all the babies and i got to pick which one i wanted. He had some of the brightest yellow. There was one that had even more and brighter yellow than mine. I almost got that one till i notice it was three time fatter than the rest and it was the only one striking at the camara. The last thing i wanted was a really big pissy yellow. Out of all the different breeder i looked at he by far had the nice looking yellows.

Had him out while cleaning his cage today. He got in my shirt and was climbing all over me. Had him out for a good 30 minutes. He shed twice since i had him and today when he was stretched out that he grown 5 to 6 inches.

I suspect that at the rate he is growing Chuck you won't be holding him in one hand much longer.
