I definitely want a green conda one of these days, but I think I'll start off with a male. Keep posting pics of her, I wanna see how quickly she outgrows every cage you've got.

Congrats on the new conda, true captive bred specimens are rare and I bet that new arrival has a even temperament as compared to typical imported neonates. Ben is IMO making a breakthrough and offering captive bred tractable neonates from tractable parents, like the tractable retics that are currently on the market as compared to the ones that where wild caught in the 80's.

Good luck with her.

Thanks everyone, I will make sure to post updated pics of her and her sister. Frank you are 100% right, Ben is really making a difference in the anaconda world and retics for that matter. Her temperment is outstanding, being cb is the key.

FRoberts

and retics for that matter.

I do acknowledge that ben has bred many tame retics, but the tamer ones where around and in the captive gene pool already, he is one of the limited few who is introducing captive bred greens in the captive gene pool.
I mean no disrespect as I like ben a lot.
It's all compliments I assure you.
Hopefully the law makers will let the work continue!!!

I hear ya, there were cb tame retics already around. Lets just hope we still have the rights to own these animals. Thanks for the post Frank.

Hi,

That is a gorgeous snake. The first python I ever bought was a Burmese, I bought him in 1982. When did Anacondas start becoming availbale to herpers? I just love the big snakes. I think anyone reading this post is going to want one of those. Just a gorgeous snake. What is not to love....

Thanks everyone.

Anaconda's have been available for many years, they were mainly wild caught animals. Now in the more recent years there has been captive bred animals available. I really enjoy big snakes especially anacondas and retics, I think this female along with her sister will be the prize of my collection.
