Thumbs up Green anaconda

I have just picked up a Green Anaconda this afternoon.
WOW what a fiesty little guy.
I only took the lid off the box at home and was bitten twice, after putting on some rather large welders gloves and picking him up to move him to his viv i was bitten another 4 times.
But to me it is the snake i have always wanted ever since i was a kid so worth every bite.
I am a happy, proud Anaconda owner tonight!!!!!

The flash on the photos shows this guys eyes clouded over.
Looks like a new shed is on the way.
Probably why i got bitten so many times just picking him up to move him too.

I have indeed, will need to change the house around a little but i did plenty of research on the species before i got it and specifically bought a male because they max out at around 10- 12 feet.

i know of a 24 foot male, and a few at the 20foot mark - so thats simply not the case. males have the ability to get very large, and maxxing out at 12 foot is absurd and incorrect
