Re: My Yellow Anaconda

Is that low for a snake that spends for the most part in the water? I measured all my snakes water and they range from 72.6 to 74.3 my air temps were 76.5 at the time.

Just curious that's all.

I am not really sure. I know he seems to like it. Every since i put the bigger water bowl in he has been taking more soaks. But even then it only couple times week. He never been a big soaker. As he gotten older though he will soak longer. Use to be never more than a couple hours at a time now he'll soak some time for as much as 6 to 7 hours. I have noticed it only on the days that the out temp is 80 degrees F or hotter will he soak for long time.

Re: My Yellow Anaconda

I was just thinking that if the water was to cold and he was soaking for hours at a time there would be a possibility of an R.I. But if he soaks when its 80df outside then the water would be above the lowest cool temp and would not be a problem.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

No problem. In the winter he will only soak for about a hour or so and only when in shed.

On a side note when i thawed out rats to feed yesterday i had on extra bag of jumbos and largest left. So since i am ordering more next week i figure i give a few of my snakes a extra rat. So my Yellow and male Black Blood each eat 2 Jumbos and one large. The lager were ones that two of my other snake both in shed wouldn't touch. So later today i'll try to get some pictures of him all blown up.

Thanks! Most snakes the flash washes out their color, but with him it brings his true color out perfectly.

Re: My Yellow Anaconda

IS he big enough for rabbits? It may be good to look into them. Lower fat content. Like a more lean meat.

I had no idea that anacondas had this kind of iridescence.

As big as his body is he has a really small head. I truthfully don't think he be able to take one with out injuring himself. After he eat the jumbos his neck is super stretched out.
