Their temperments vary but the big female Yellow is very handleable whereas her male mate is just brutal. Loves to strike any chance he gets.
The Greens are about the same both are quite handleable tho they will occasionally let you have it.
As with all large constrictors they have their good and bad days, just got to learn to read there minds ..... LOL

Those are some awesome looking Anaconda's. Is your green a female or male? How old is the Green and how large is it? Hope your as lucky as I am as far as temperment in a little bit.. My female Green is very tame and shes not even a year old. Is the Green CB? Also how often does your Green like to soak in the water and is there time where you have to take the bowl out at certain periods to keep her from being in the water to long? Keep us posted very very nice Anacondas again.

The top Green full body shot is our female and the head shot is our male. Haven't really done an accurate measurment on them but they are in the range of 6 feet.
As for if they are CB or WC, we were told they were CB but I find this hard to believe as we had a very hard time getting them eating when we first got them. It took several weeks before either of them the male or female would take any food.
They seem to soak at times but they seem to like to spend alot of time buried in the mulch with just their heads exposed. I am assuming that this is natural for them in the wild for ambushing prey. We started them on newspaper but they seemed to stay in their waterbowls constantly even tho we supplied hide boxes. I beleive that they were extremely stressed out. It all seemed to change when we changed the substrate to mulch, their feeding seemed to improve and they spent less time in their water.
Great to hear that your Green is tame ours are handleable but as they get larger they have developed a slight attitude at times.
We work with them as much as we can they even make trips to some of the reptile demonstrations we do.
As far as Scott and I are concerned ANACONDAS RULE !!!!
Cheers
