You're right! But they do have follow the breed "standard"!

I want the specs of that standard.

Something like this for the breed:

And if you still don't get the point, then there's no hope for you.

OK, maybe try this... describe the "standard" for Homo sapien, as if it were a dog breed.

Hey, wait a minute. Saving those plans Stefan posted. Interesting. I'll get to work right away. Got a couple of pesky critters around here (coyotes) that have so far evaded all other efforts to capture/kill. They must already have those plans. So far, they've been able to evade the bullet and laugh about it. They're smarter than they look. I guess that's why they call them "Wiley".

I want the specs of that standard.

The specs aren't described in great detail. You'll only know the specs after the fact, by which dogs win in the shows over time. Funny how the standard, and winners change with the judges and time/generations. Like I said, highly subjective if not blatantly rigged. So here's your blueprint:

With the exception of a couple of very misguided eugenicists, nobody's pretending there is such a thing as an ideal Homo sapiens. That's the point. But when it comes to dog breeds, that's exactly what's going on.

You have an anaconda? How big is it? I'm pretty fascinated by anacondas...

Coyotes are easy use bait! It's like shooting fish in a barrel but funner! Go to your local butcher shop n ask them to save you the throw aways like a pig head heart lungs skin, etc. Then go out find a good spot that you can see but maybe beside something the coyotes would feel 'secure' by a tree line or something of the sort. Set the bait. Go back to your cozy spot n wait. Won't be long that they will come to the delicious smell of raw meat. Works awesome, did that with a buddy of mine with bow n arrows, lol we had three outa five shot before the others clued in that their buddies where dead. We where up in the trees n shot the last two as they started to run away. Was a good day. We had suspected that they were the coyotes that had raided a neighbors yearling pig pen. So didn't feel bad about killing them at all.

Here is Yin, She has grown a lot n her color keeps changing. I'm hard pressed to get her to eat enough though... She used to have a huge appetite and would nibble on my fingers enthusiastically. Now fully terrestrial she barely eats. I'm going to try finding some live grubs or some wax worms for her.

Here is her buddy Yang, still in larval form.

Ha here's Piggy giving me the look. "Give me your yogurt NOW or else your foot gets it!" (Really she was just blinking cause the flash but was truly begging for the yogurt I was eating.) lol

yes, i have a male green anaconda. he was born 9/7/11. so he's still young and small...around 27-29 inches. he's actually in shed at the moment! very calm and curious. he was captive bred by karl hermann.

How big will the anaconda get? There is a yellow anaconda at our very small local zoo. My son's father and I took my son there last year and I was so excited to see the anaconda (of course my son's father was afraid to even go inside the snake house! Don't even get me started on that...) I was so disappointed because when we got there, the anaconda was not there...it was at the vet. I'll have to go back another time to see it.

@Richard...funny you were talking about coyotes...my chihuahua sounds like a coyote when he howls. He is very big for a chihuahua..so I always joke that his breeder cross bred him with a coyote.
