Re: Geriatric Yellow anaconda
Wow....that is one gorgeous snake man!!!! I always keep my pets for life unless it's just a bad match from the start. I never thought about it, but after reading your post, it really brought home that snakes live a lot longer than your average dog for example. I get really really attached to my animals, so if your the same, I can't imagine how it would feel to lose an animal that has been with you for 20 to 30 years!! Most marriages don't last that long now a days, lol !! Guess I will find out though cause I read that my little columbian rainbow averages about 20 years in captivity. Glad to see your Gracie is doing well and she looks fantastic!!!

Re: Geriatric Yellow anaconda
Just read this thread from start to finish and I am really glad you got her to feed again. Also really love how beautiful she is. Thanks for sharing and I hope that she continues to eat for you and that she gets used to a new busy home as well. Keep us updated! Even if you are a "drive by poster".

Re: Geriatric Yellow anaconda
Wow! I'm surprised to see that interest in Gracie goes on. I'm pleased to report that she continues to eat vigorously and has adjusted to life in the living room. I continue to keep her partially covered most of the time to give her some security. She has even decided to eat from my girlfriend's hand as well as mine.
To the person who asked if I had any advice I'd have to say not really. My husbandry has always been really simple. I don't handle her that often, just enough that she is comfortable being held. She's lived nearly her whole life in a 105 gallon aquarium, which I keep relatively, but not scrupulously clean. The tank has nearly always been heated with an under tank heater. She's somewhat smaller than the sizes I've seen listed for grown females. She's probably slightly under 8 feet. Which I attribute to my probably feeding her a little less than I should have over the years. She always seems to be of a good weight, but I have gone under the advice to me that the back of your snake should have a slight valley along the spine area. I started feeding her live food which she ate for about 10 years. After that the rats were getting pretty large and I feared that they may cause her injury if she was sloppy in an attack. After that I've always fed her frozen food. Like I said, pretty basic husbandry.
I think that her longevity is due mostly to the fact that I've always been able to keep her housed and regularly fed. Like many folks I've always believed that you should keep your pets for life. I've just been able to do that when many folks have found themselves unable to do so.
