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.

Nice! The irridescence is amazing! Reminds me of a Brazilian.

Very nice lookimg. The irradesents does look like a brb a lot.... Why the gloves?

... Incase she bites I assume.. Annie can have quite the nasty bite, they probably have great jaw power just like retics??

Thanks for the kind words folks. Yea the i colours that bounce off her in the right light is awesome. I am wearing the gloves for pure hygiene purposes as i was cleaning her tank out as she made quite a bit of mess when shedding. I dont use gloves when handling even the feisty ones dont feel comfortable wearing them would rather take the bite.

that is what i thought. but also curious because i wear gloves wit my BRB... shes gotten pretty pissy latley, well over the last year... and i also heard that the rubber the gloves are made from have a really bad taste, and the snakes generally learn not to bite because of them, no clue if it true, but thats what i head.
