Looking to buy green anaconda

moshirimon · 05-15-12, 07:32 PM

Hey guys I am interested in purchasing a MALE green anaconda. I live in Hamilton, Ontario and I am willing to pay the proper price. If there is anyone in the area or in any nearby cities selling a BABY or YOUNG MALE green anaconda please let me know!!

Also i'd love to see some pics of your adult greens. especially males, i believe they reach lengths of 10-12 foot, alot smaller than the females.

I do not have any help but just like any other snake you should always do your research. If you already did then great, if you are doing your research now then great.

Extremely illegal here in Hamilton. You need to check with your by laws. Keeping snakes that are illegal just ads more strain on the hobby...

He already owns a Yellow female Anaconda. So he know all about them.

How is your Yellow doing? Love to see some updated pictures. (hint,hint)

I awarding 10 points for this instead of the usual 5 because it's just that important to mention.

It worries me enough that someone is looking for an illegal, but to post it in public worries me even more. Add that they've gone so far as to mention the town in which they're looking for it and we've got a 3-strike scenario.

That's the kind of stuff that does indeed put a strain our hobby.

I would say 4, due to the current animals he possesses...

Yes that is correct! And she's awesome! definitely put on some more size but is very unpredictable now. Not that i mind, I love a challenging snake! but i will post some pics of her tonight in her enclosure since she's so hard to get out ! almost 4 foot now!

Sorry for putting a strain on the hobby guys i don't have that intention. You are right thought about posting it online that was a mistake, and i am aware they are illegal, but that does not slow me down one bit. The area I am in and the way i care for my snakes,does not pose too big a risk of getting caught with the animal. once again that was totally stupid for posting it i just thought someone on here might have helped me out. but all my animals are healthy, and well cared for.

mykee · 05-16-12, 04:59 PM

NOT the point.
It's keepers like you who put a black mark on the hobby.

Great. That random person keeps his kidnapped victim well and "healthy" and that makes everything legal! Sorry, just "not pose too big a risk".

Seriously, get rid of your illegal animals or move somewhere where they are.

As mkyee wrote.; it does not matter the condition you keep your snakes in. Bottom line is they are illegal in your area. So work on rehoming your current pets that are classified illegal in your area instead of getting more. When you get busted it will even be longer trying to change the by law.

Now I don't agree with the by laws in Hamilton regarding reptiles there are much worse things that are not controlled.
Rules are rules and if you don't intend on following them you should be punished. Imo

I agree with this Jay. Rules are rules currently. Work towards changing them instead of just giving an "f u" to them and work within them until things change.

When i said the way i care for my snakes, i ment the fact that i never take them out and they are never seen by those i don't want to see. (neighbors, pedestrians etc..) yes i know this does not make a difference in them being illegal or legal but there is a lower chance of me getting busted, than someone who displays thier snake to all. sorry for the confusion.

and i fully understand what you are all saying, if i do ever get busted i will rightfully take what ever punishment , fines, and accept them for my actions. I will give what you guys said alot of thought i must say no one really put it that way for me, since almost every reptile hobbist (ALMOST, not every single person) "breaks" the rules, and when you know people you see many burms, and other large snakes that are illegal.

glad you guys are explaining this all in a really understandable way and not just yelling at me lol

Posting on a public forum your location was not smooth.
The punishment will most likely result in you loosing your current residence and your snake being put down...
