OOOOh brother lets not start...
Anyway, a good friend of mine has a 7 foot male. My friend Beau, the same freshman who had the caiman Im sure a few of you might remember. This, however, is perhaps his most well-taken care of animal. He loves Andy like a family member, and its perhaps the most gentle and inquisitive (and eerily intelligent looking) snake Ive ever known personally. Since its a male, it wont get over 10 feet (on average of course) and he has a large costum built enclosure in his garage. Instead of a large water basin (which they dont really require, they will even breed without one), he takes it in the backyard pool every once in a while. He even did that with his dwarf caiman a few times, with mouth taped. Anyway, he is oddly responsible and caring for it compared to his others. He used to have an attitude similar to yours L_C, but I think once he discovered a herp he truly LOVES, he chose quality over quantity.
Good story?
I would like to use my future animals in educational presentations, possibly an anaconda. As you know, I work at the nature center and we do these all the time for birthday parties and other programs, and it is something I truly ENJOY. Today I just did one, in fact, and we got a 20 dollar donation! (parties are free) We did a party for about 20 kids, and we used our gray treefrog, american toad, spotted salamander, painted turtle, box turtle, common snapper, albino corn, and northern pine snake and we had a blast. Im sure Ill have a pretty large collection eventually, and Id like to use them in any way possible to better the knowledge of reptiles. Every educator has a BIG snake right? I was thinking male green anaconda, female granite burm, or albino retic after the price goes below 200 or so. Haha sorry for rambling but it was anaconda related
