the little yellow shed over the weekend too so managed to get a few snaps of her, she made life a bit difficult tho as i startled her when trying to find her a she was all burrowed away sleeping so she took a couple of swipes at me, lucky for me she missed but unluckily for her she got a mouthfull of bark which i had to fish out with a pair of tweezers but thankfully she took this quite well.

i made the mistake once before of putting this girl in a tub while doing maintenance in her tank and she came out like a lunatic so now we have an understanding and she coils up around my arm while i do everything from changing substrate to washing out water bowls and generally running about the house, this is anaconda bracelet...

heres some other pics i snapped while she was out...

thanks for looking...

thank you very much...

cute! How big will she get??

ding ding · 01-09-12, 06:04 AM

thanks, she could potentially reach 12ft but i highly doubt this, her mother was 7 years old and around 8-9ft, the sire was a bit smaller so i would expect her to get to around the 8-9ft mark.

Ding she looking good and getting bigger.

About how long is she now?

I know a guy who wears the latex gloves when handling babies. He said if they bite they will only do it a couple times as they don't like the taste. He swore it was the easiest way to break them of biting when handle. In his 9 years of breeding he only been bit once by a snake over 6 months old.

I personally don't like gloves even with a bitey snake. You just don't have as much control over the snake when handling.

True but with babies it makes it hard to tell if i am holding them to tight. I have a bad habit of not knowing my own strength and i am afraid of hurting them.
