Breeding yellow anacondas

[jaleely]

Lankyrob had the best posts.
Straightforward.
I would suggest not getting any species of snake, at all, for the purpose of breeding and selling.
The pet trade is flooded with a lot of popular snakes. It's not needed, and it is certainly not a great means to make money.
For this particular snake asked about...they are large, fiesty, advanced snakes. Two at 18 months old seems fine now...until they are 10...12...16 feet long.
A quick google search will show you they can have a *lot* of eggs.
It's good to ask questions...great to show an interest, honestly. But it's always hard when it comes to animals because many people see them as more than pets, more than just breeding stock.

I encourage anyone looking into owning any pet, to do tons of research on their needs, housing, lifespan, etc. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.
Anyway, to the origional poster....the way you asked, it seemed like you were set on getting a pair, and breeding them as soon as you could, like it was no big deal.
Sorry people got defensive of the snakes.
There are many, many people who do this exact thing then end up rehoming the snakes later. And with this breed, it is highly likely because they are so much work.

Anyway again...you did get some good basic info for thoughts on the long run. I see that you didn't get the snakes, too.
That may have worked out for the best. If you do decide at a later date to start a breeding project I hope it goes well for you. In the meantime, maybe you can come back here and start some threads on what you've learned about the snakes, and get discussion and feedback on other keepers methods. That would be more effective than asking for a crash course in breeding : )
Peace!
