Green Anaconda, The Best Pet Snake?

The green anaconda (Eunectes murinus) is the most massive snake on Earth. Reaching lengths of nearly 20 feet and weighing hundreds of pounds with the ability to overpower and swallow jaguar, crocodilians, and possibly even people, it stands to reason that it would make a great pet. But is this giant, semi-aquatic boa actually a good pet? And is the green anaconda the best pet snake for you?

As someone who presently owns two green anacondas, I'm surprised you didn't mention the males' size. They get to be closer to large female boa size in most cases, and are a much more manageable pet size if someone is dead set on an anaconda. Still very powerful, and let me tell you first hand, you will be changing their water every single day if it's not heavily filtered. They pee or poop in it on an almost daily basis and otherwise generally get it gross with dirt they track in it. Also, I have seen how fast and how far they can snap across an enclosure. Be vigilant. Always. And over 10 ft have a team.

Working on convincing her to accept small rabbits before she is big enough to NEED them, but she isn't a fan.

@lizziesmusicmaking Год назад

The Vancouver Aquarium had a green anaconda for a very long time. It was enormous, and you could usually only see part of the snake at any one time. There was a giant aquarium section with lots of amazonian fishes (and usually a coil or two of anaconda). These included an enormous school, like thousands, of neon or cardinal tetras, and they were amazing to watch. You don't normally get to see small aquarium fishes in those kinds of numbers, and there's emergent properties you just don't see with 6 in a ten gallon aquarium. A really, really cool exhibit.

@sakuram69 Год назад

I’ve seen a lot of anacondas at zoos and I have to say this is easily the most well behaved one I’ve seen interacting with people. Every time a keeper would attempt to interact with the ones I’ve seen it would instantly become defensive and try to get away. They were obviously not well socialized at all and I actually felt bad they had to tolerate the forced interactions with those keepers for each show. Seeing people keeping these fabulously beautiful animals properly and socializing them responsibly really is refreshing. That said, I have to wonder about the sanity of anyone who wants an anaconda as a “pet.” A “pet” implies something you can interact with a lot with relative safety and isn’t going to give you a “hug” like these things can lol That’s like having a “pet” Nile crocodile or shark. I mean, just out of respect to an animal that is actually deified by civilizations, I could never use the term “pet” to describe them. Hell, I don’t even call my cat a “pet.” He’s a furry overlord who has the ego of Caesar 😂 super amounts of respect for the people out there that can care for these animals the way they need and have the capabilities to do these educational videos.

@zenithmaiden2109 3 года назад

As someone who's more versed in aquatics...my first thoughts on actually keeping a snake like this is just wow...you could get a degree for the cost of a green's enclosure. A sealed floor with a well-secured sump or floor drain to prevent water damage will be almost necessary. You're going to want a sizable drilled acrylic tank (pond, really) with all external components for making filtration possible without the snake interfering. Costly, but it's strong, durable and light - it can (and likely will) scratch, but its unlikely to shatter under duress from a large animal. At ~8lbs per gallon (not counting the weight of the tank itself or deco) the sheer weight of the pond will require you to reinforce your home's load-bearing capability or put it on a poured pad. For filtration, do the math for an overstocked tank of the volume you're looking to make. Pond components are likely to be more cost effective depending on the math, especially for heaters. Large water surface area combined with heat and ventilation will keep down on active misting or humidity control that might need to be done, but will present its own problems like mold and evaporation if not carefully regulated. Make something equivalent to a show/breeder tank with little or no deco to provide maximum circulation with IT/OT on either end of the tank. You may even want to throw in a power head(s) facing the OT to not only simulate current they would experience in a river biotope, but to assist the filtration. Some filtration systems like canisters can be configured to drain a tank hands-free, putting the OT at the lowest point in the tank would allow you to nearly completely drain it for maintenance. A segregated enclosure may be the best option to ensure that both the snake and you are undisturbed during maintenance, even with a spotter, which gives additional design considerations. TL;DR - At some point you have to realize that this is no longer a pet and something better left to professionals or the truly, truly dedicated. This is like the reptile equivalent of a Red-Tail Catfish...just no, lol

@MrTannhauser0 3 года назад

I knew coming into this video that a green anaconda wasn't going to be the best pet snake for me. Honestly, any snake probably isn't the best pet snake for me, not big on feeding rodents. But hearing my man Clint so excited about them just makes me happy and gives me a big dumb grin that I can't get rid of. I love your videos, y'all do great work and I can't wait to see more of it. Sending much love and good vibes in these hard times.

No other snake behaves and utilizes water habitats like they do.. it's just amazing to witness them in their natural habitat, they have such unique behavior. I love them!

I love how you make videos about animals where the answer to the question: "Is this the right pet for you?" is a resounding no it is not. I just finished talking about to my class about how Burmese pythons are reeking havoc on the Everglades because pet owners let them escape into the wild.

@katelillo1932 3 года назад

It actually wasn’t pet owners that caused the majority of the invasive burm population. Hurricane Andrew destroyed a breeding facility back in like ‘92 that released a significant number of snakes into the Everglades. Certainly there have been a few pets dumped there, but the breeding facility caused most of that problem.

@CoMtLion 3 года назад

@@katelillo1932 Hurricane Andrew has also been implicated in releasing invasive lionfish into the Caribbean. In the case of the lionfish it has been very tricky to find the actual point of introduction. Do you know if there have been any genetic studies tracing the pythons back to that one breeding facility?

@brianpartlow5530 7 месяцев назад

The bloopers at the end are the best. You definitely need a friend while handling one of these. A Boa can accidentaly choke you out, or break bones just from hugging you. These guys get bigger and stronger. I think if I had one, I would stick to petting it once it got huge. NERD says they like to hide so their enclosure don't have to be super size. Use a baby pool for bathing outside of the cage. Anacondas wouldn't be that hard if you really want one and are able to spend alot of time with it.
