They look great ben. That super is awsome

Welcome to Reptile Planet ~~ Anaconda Guy !!!

Awesome Snakes Ben!! Thanks For joining mate, Great pics, your so lucky!
Were all looking forward to Lots of post from ya!
That green is stunning. More pics of your enclosures too please and some info, tell us about yourself and those awesome snakes.

How old is the Green Anaconda? whats it weigh? looks pretty hefty already, cant think how youll handle it later, I reckon you'll need a few mates to help you.
Do they stay in the water once they reach a certain size?
What kind of setup will you need for it later?

Sorry all the questions but your gonna get alot here mate.

Thanks for the comments!:) I will get some more pics of the enclosures, I'm actually in the process of selling some... I need less height to add more cages so I'm trading in my 8', 4' and 2' cages for 3 new 7' cages from Animal Plastics (for my super tiger, anery anaconda, and male green). This should all be taken care of in the next month, hopefully. As long as someone can buy my 8' cage, the 4' and 2' wont be hard to sell, but the 8' is a pain to move out because it can't be shipped.

My Male Green Anaconda is 2 years old, I have had him since he was a Neonate, he is 8' long and weighs around 25 lbs. Tamest snake in the world, love the guy.

My female Green Anaconda is around 4 yrs. old, I have had her for a couple of months. She is around 12' long and weighs around *70* lbs, she is a heavy girl, may not look it, but I weighed her recently!:)

I never handle any of my snakes alone, ever. Bad idea to do with Anacondas, they are the snake that if you do something they don't like they will show you, no matter how tame. Once the snake is 5'+, there is always someone else present. The girl is already a pain to hold alone, and she isn't getting any lighter. She just went into her first shed with me a few days ago, she is in her *deep* grey phase right now. Hopefully she will have a clean shed, I doubt she will though, whenever I got her, the scales on her seemed like they were dry, and I've raised her humidity and everything, so in a few sheds, she should have nice silky scales like my male, or at least I'm hoping.

I have water tubs for the snakes, once they get a certain size, I will either get them huge watertubs and a wet/dry vac or give them smaller water conatiners. Anacondas do not *need* to soak, I would prefer them to because it's more natural and it's probably a lot better for their skin, but once the humidity is raised, the soaking isn't needed. As they grow I will just continue to update cages also, right now my large female green is in an 8' long x 30" wide x 2' high cage, and she will stay in there for awhile, probably until about 15-16' and my male is in the same size of cage, but I'm going to make his a 7' long x 30" wide x 18" high, because that's probably all he will need. Male Greens only get around 10-12' and if he gets up to 14' then he will just be moved to a larger enclosure.

About me: I am 18 years old, I mainly go off on my hobbys. I play drums in a local band called Gone By Sunrise... I'm very much into herpetology, mainly the studies on Anacondas. I'm planning to start my first Anaconda breeding project this upcoming season with my 1.1 pair of Greens. And anything else you want to know, feel free to ask.

Cool stuff, thats seems pretty hefty growth in 2 yrs for the green male but then they are big speces. Do you breed your own food? Im guessing some of them are eating rabbits?
You must go through alot of rats?

Nah, it's not too bad. Most captive Green Anacondas grow pretty fast in the first two years on a routine diet, but into the 2nd year, their growth slows down considerably.

No, I don't breed my own food. I have a friend that breeds everything and freezes it off for me. All my snakes only eat f/t foods. I get everything at breeder prices, which means everything is like 70% off for me, so I can get rabbits up to like 5 lbs for $4. But I mainly feed my Anacondas collosal rats, they seem to prefer them. They only eat like every other or ever 3rd time I try to feed them rabbits, but usually don't miss a meal if it's collosal rats. As far as in-take it's not too bad, I go through 5 rats (or 2 rabbits and 3 rats) a week.

beutiful snakes how much did they set u bak must of costed alot
by the looks of ur set up ur very serious about ur snakes
im only 14 so how many snakes is limited but i still have 4 snake rite now and with the job i plain to get im plainin to get some BH ptyhons and lace monitor
thought ill tell u a bit about my self

lol, Money wise, I have A LOT invested in my snakes. Not only the caging, but the snakes themselves. I could go into pricing, but I will just say I've put in over $5000 for my snakes. That price continues to raise also, lol. I'm spending another $1700 for some more cages in the next week or two also. Just remember the more snakes you buy, the more you have to clean!:)
