Actually, I suggest “cutting your teeth” on an adult Florida Green Watersnake, Nerodia floridana. It is not an animal to be taken lightly, but makes a more reasonable pet than the Green Anaconda. If you really are set on owning a large, usually aggressive aquatic snake, you might consider the Yellow Anaconda, Eunectes notaeus. Today I’ll cover the key points to consider before making a decision on these fascinating, but dangerous, behemoths. For those with the required space, training and finances, they are, I know, hard to resist. ![]() However, Anacondas do appear in the trade, and have been successfully kept and bred. Capable of killing an adult, and far too large to be accommodated in most homes, they are obviously not suitable choices for most people. ![]() So I’m somewhat torn when asked to comment on Anacondas in private collections. I consider myself very fortunate, and realize that the childhood dream I was able to live is not available to most people. For a snake enthusiast such as I, not much can top the thrill of working with Green Anacondas ( Eunectes murinus), in the wild and breeding them in captivity.
