anacondas would be able to eat a full grown human,,,FACT,,,fucking scary,,,would be a horrible fate

[bitterbug]

@turkyish

wouldn't matter much. you'd be dead from asphyxiation before the eating happened :)

[lukyargentino]

there is a way to tame an anaconda or python? any information will be accepted

[bitterbug]

@lukyargentino

You don't really tame them so much as condition them to understand you are not a threat.

Also, be aware that all bets are off at feeding time. The most gentle snake you've got will latch on to you when they go into feeding mode and you get in the way.

dang nice snake but like others do u should get like a huge cage and do like the rocks under water sloping down so it can swim in like semi deep water like 1 or 2 feet

[bitterbug]

That was just a temp cage his owner had him in.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but there's several Anaconda breeders in North America. Definitely not a lot, compared to other species, but more than one in the US alone.

i love it how people say all anacondas get to this size and are this aggressive. most of them have never kept a little corn snake let alone a green annie. captive green anacondas are usally a very tame snake and males dont get very big at all a male would struggle to reach 12ft even if it was 20years old i have seen adult males which was 7/8ft but neverthe less females are very large

WHERE you get that dang man

[crustyjack007]

They are very pretty snakes, my female is amazing after she sheds. I love the big yellow EYE spots

@xXAceXxMoShEr not only too big, this isnt a snake for everyone, they are truly aggresive.

@lukyargentino

give them the respect, handle them often. its better to get them when they are babies so they grow up with you.

[IgOrvElJo]

Just one more question if i may. For anaconda's how do you mean handle? Such as keep pulling them back when they want to leave your hand. I've seen that been done by people in the zoo. They just bring it back. So basically let it get used to you. And for feeding, how should i be carefull when puting it back to its normal cage? Will it bite or attack?

@IgOrvElJo You do not need a license to own large constrictors in the US.. anyone with enough cash can buy one legally.

As far as taming them, just hold them for 30-45 minutes every day or at least every other day. Get a baby and raise it up and they tame real quick. Even the most feisty babies become docile with just a couple weeks of handling.

And for feeding, use prekilled and feed in a seperate enclosure. Be very carefull though when tranfering back to its regular cage.

Good luck :)
