that pic was taken a long time ago....she has gotten bigger since that photo.....she's huge. was a rescue that Jim Dix took in...was half starved!!! but is well cared for now!

There does seem to be a common misconception that we can regulate growth by not feeding them as much.

I'd wager to say most of the bites/attacks reported were from UNDERFED individuals.

Even the super mellow Ball Python can get nasty when they are not fed enough...

I just love the BIG snakes, I'll never buy one, but I'd never turn away one in need either.

Wouldn't mind a yellow anaconda at all, Build it a pond and feed it quail

people can hinder growth and development by not feeding them..... not good for the snakes tho.

[GartersRock]

Yeah. If you fed newborn babies say, once a month. They would live but grow very, very slowly... So it's true in a way. But NOT good for the snakies of course.

I have debated about yellows, and even greens, since I have the house to myself.

Man, that could make one super cool living room super huge walk-in display cage.

now thats a hard sentence to read.

But it all comes down to the fact that I cant move a large snake by myself. maybe a yellow, but probably not a green, full grown that is- because unlike most people that buy the big species, I do imagine what I'll do when they get that big.
