 Conda debate

ok here is my concern the fact is i really like condas i think they are really cool snakes my concern is that well for one i already have a burm that’s a little over a year old and over 7 foot but he is a sweetheart totally chill but with the condas i know they potentially get bigger than burms and they are know to be quite more aggressive and definitely have larger teeth. i want to know yall’s input on if they are really aggressive or if they can be tamed so to speak and would make a good pet. i know what they need as far as husbandry and space is not a problem or habitat i know i can take care of it properly my only concern is its temperament. and please only positive or usable input

with size, if you were to get a male conda, your burm would probably out grow it, males top out any were from 10-13 maybe 14ft at the biggest and usually don’t brake 110lb but there are always exceptions. i just got my male about 2 weeks ago and he is the sweetest temperament you could ask for. but at the same time you have to be smart and try to avoid any potential situation that could turn bad. usually if a anaconda bites you, its not thinking of food, you have done some thing to piss him off and he just telling you, lol. Despite what other people say with frequent and jauntily handling your future conda would be fine aggression wise, but that’s not saying you never get bit. good luck.

OK, this is a pet peeve of mine but I have to say it...

**It does not make you look like a prepared owner when you are asking for info on how to care for a large snake but use ZERO punctuation or seem to proof read your posts. You ask for "positive or usable" responses only, at least take the care to make sure you ask it well**

1) Condas weight more than burns but in terms of length will probably not get bigger.

2) Snakes are as individual as the owner. Proper handling can take a born-striker to a lamb if you put in the right time and effort.

Overall I think condas get a bad rep. Never met a conda, even ones said to be "nippy" that lived up to the scary reputation they get.

3) The teeth size is not so noticeable between the two snakes that you could tell if they really bit you. The different rests is bite strength. A Conda bite can leave bruising around the bite marks just from the force of the lips and jaw itself clamping down!

It gives the appearence of being rushed and hasty and blowing past using a period.

I dont expect flawless grammar or no typos, but maybe 1 period per post at least?

Not knowing punctuation like commas is one thing. End punctuation is another.



On a less personal note: Its a royal pain to try and read a post w/ no punctuation
