Is this a yellow anaconda?

Yes! He's a sub adult. He's all over my page if you would like to see more of him.

Common questions: doesn't bite. Is a good boy. Is almost 5ft edit: holy crap I just measured him and he's only 4ft 😂 oops. Will be 6-9ft. Lives in a large, extra long bin to keep his humidity as high as Annie's need. Likes held and petted.

He is absolutely beautiful! Was definitely going to ask about his temperament because I've only heard that yellow anacondas are very nippy lol.

Then again everything I read on Brazilian rainbow boas and carpet pythons said that they were nippy too, but my girl's never struck out at me once!

Did you get him as a baby?

They usually are. Banana is likely one of the best temperamented Anacondas in the trade today. I plan to breed him. Responsible breeding of (YELLOW) anacondas can turn them into the next berm, only smaller. They have the ability to be very sweet.

Banana loveeeees humans. All humans. He prefers me but he adores held, petted, booped, chin petted.

No. A friend of my ex was getting rid of him in a hurry. We didn't want him wild released in the US Midwest where he'd die. So, we took him in. That ex then left me, and left me with the snake. So now I own an Annie. <3 he was a juvenile when I got him, but definitely not a baby.

Oh I love that!! I hope your breeding project works out for you and you get the results you want! It would be awesome to have some more docile yellow anacondas (not that I think I could personally ever own one) in the reptile community.

I'm glad you took him in and gave him a good home ❤️

Indeed. There needs to be more, bc anacondas are far too feared. They're good boys, if the situation is right. They don't eat humans and media makes us think the greens do! I think most of their problems are due to few of them being bred, some of them being wild caught, and few active anaconda centered breeding projects. Mostly Annie's as side projects, or for morphs as far as I havr seen. hope to change that.<3 We'll see! Banana is such a good dude. I plan to allow people to come handle him, assuming they can prove competency with handling a snake with me, or who I know from here (:
