In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.
Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."
Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I know of somebody who has one, but they are getting rid of it. They are definitely not beginning snakes and not something that a beginning hobbyist consider.

I guess I pegged you for being 13 by your lack of grammatical skills. It wasn't until I looked at your profile and learned you were an adult that I was shocked. Anacondas are a lot different than burms both in size and temperment. There is a lot to look into when considering getting one. For example, many apartments would not allow you to rent with such a large constrictor, many cities have bans on them, and if you own your own home many insurance agencies will drop home owners insurance if they find out you have one, so make sure you do more research than how to house/feed/handle it.

oh my spelling skills? my bad im always typeing in chat rooms and spell differently but other then that atlanta doesnt has no ban against any snakes that arent deadly so anacondas are legal to have but i wont get one i know anacondas do have bad temperment and honestly isent that bad when u handle them and tamed them when they first young then they shouldnt be that bad to have as a pet male green anacondas useally gets around 8 to 12 feet 16 atleast ha my burmese going to be much bigger then 16 feet

Not spelling so much as improper use...
"atlanta doesnt has no ban against" ....2 negatives make a positive. "doesn't has" Your statement literally says Atlanta DOES have a ban. Maybe you're thinking the "doesn't has NO", puts it back to a positive? LOL
Just messing with you, but it is rather hard to read it and grasp what you're saying.
But more importantly, who says Condas are not deadly? They have been observed actively stalking humans along streams and water ways in the wild. I also would not put too much faith in the size ref you have given. Condas are very capable of reaching sizes larger than your burm, male or female.
Even more important than all that...I may be misinterpreting your post's, but they give the impression you want a Conda because of their size. Wrong reason to own a large Boid IMHO.
But since I suspect you will get one anyway, My advice to you is simple. Do Not handle large boids (10 ft +) without a back up handler close by. A 10 ft Conda is more snake than you think, if it wants to act up. Always exceptions though, some seem baby tame. Maybe you'll end up with one of those ones.
My 2¢

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you from Condas, or any other large Boid. Just letting you know. They're great animals, but I see too many that are given up at about 2-3 yrs of age, because "I wasn't expecting it to get so big and strong so fast" Just make sure you are well researched, and prepared for it.
Retics are one of the smartest boids on the planet BTW. If you end up with one, make sure you learn all you can about them. Them guys are WAY intelligent. If there is ANY weakness in your handling skills, they'll find it an exploit it to their liking. LOL
I had a couple back in the day, and realized by age 4 they were WAY to much for my experience at the time. It wasn't easy to place them in a home either, because back then, (1988-89) retics were nasty, and quite a force to be reckoned with.
Do your homework, that's all I'm saying.
