Default A tale of two Anacondas!

As a few of you know i was given these two yellow anacondas buy someone who couldn't keep them.As it was a bit of a team effort i thought i would ask you all for some names for them,as intend to keep them both.If i cant think of anything suitable my wife/daughter will name them anyway,this is how i have ended up with large pythons called Fluffy,Tinkerbell,Daisy and Dopey! This can prove most embarasing at times so please help me out


Female 1(this one has bitten me alot!)

Female 2 (this smaller one is quite placid)
I have a soft spot for yellow "annies" as they were the first large constrictor i saw at close quaters,a local pet shop that dabbled in the odd reptile got one in as a display piece.Now Anyone who has kept them will tell you what a messy/dirty snake they are so the owner soon decided it had to go,as it stank out the shop too! It had grown abit in this time and the owner was terrified of it(rightly so!) so i went to help.......
This was in the late 80s when i was alot less experienced and boy did i learn about anacondas that day!
If i have to deal with an aggresive snake nowdays i still think to myself"it cant be as bad as that bloody anaconda"and so far nothing has come close!

OMG! GORGEOUS! I used to have a pair of these guys, mine were real beauties, very handleable too lol. Unfortunately like everything else I had to sell them when my mum kicked me out, but I wish I still had them now. They are gorgeous animals, bit messy, but so lovely to keep!!

Lol, well I love them. Id get some more if I had the space. Beautiful snakeys Its funny because my bf is scared of snakes, and wouldnt even hold a royal without panicing, but he saw these in the shop and bought them and would rather hold these guys than a royal or cornsnake! How funny is that, and they bit him....He is strange....

But they are beautiful snakes....One of mine was called Adrian....It was female....Great name lol

I think its because they bite rather than strike,and thats what frightens most people.(the strike!)Where as your average annie will come out be handled good as gold(if you are lucky) then out of nowhere "chomp"! And allways somewhere it bloody hurts!
