Anaconda

Anaconda, the 1997 “creature-feature” starring Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, brought slews of moviegoers to theaters, telling the tale of how a National Geographic-type crew meets with the fabled giant Anacondas of the South American rainforests, face to face.

Though the anacondas in the movie remain to be mythical gigantic creatures, anacondas are among the largest snakes in the world, though the name actually refers to a group of snakes, typified by their constricting capacities.

They are quite popular in exotic pet circles, given their overall non-venomous status as snakes and given their relative composure when kept as pets.

When it comes to pet anacondas, most exotic pet owners are torn between getting a ball python or a green anaconda. Both are among the most commonly encountered types of anacondas, and understanding the differences between the two, though categorized as anacondas, helps identify which type is better to keep as a pet.

Ball Python Pet owners say – that their snakes are generally easier to keep compared to green anacondas, though having these type of snakes as pets is not without its problems too.

Depending on a particular snake’s temperament, ball pythons are quick, with cases of pet owners experiencing bites to the face when handling them. Though they are non-venomous, their bites are still painful to experience, and as with most bites, they could leave behind scars.

Some ball python pet owners confess that there are times when their pets, in the instances when they do get to bite them, just won’t let go, unlike other snake varieties which are quick to bite and quick to let go.

Green anaconda pet owners say – that if a challenge in handling a ball python’s temperament is encountered, green anacondas are more fickle and more difficult to keep.

Generally speaking, green anacondas are ideally kept by expert pet snake owners, who have better understanding and experience in dealing with snakes.

If you’re simply starting out in keeping a pet anaconda, smaller types like the ball python or the carpet python are highly advised by most expert and experienced anaconda pet owners.

Abandoned Pet Snake found in Sewer Grate

When it comes to pet owners, owners with low attention spans are often frowned upon, prone to get a pet simply because it’s “cool to have” or “awesome”, without really understanding the responsibilities the come in keeping them.

The story of a five foot ball python discovered in Hillsborough, New Jersey, would be one example.

Police officers in the Hillsborough area were quick to act when a call came out, telling of a python found to be “hanging out” on a sewer grate.

Though ball pythons are part of the non-venomous species of snakes, the sight of a huge python on a sewer grate would surely raise some concerns over safety, along with questions pertaining to how it got there in the first place.

Detective Hank Olsyzk managed to carefully remove the reptile, given his experience in handling and dealing with snakes, and later surrendered the reptile to Animal Control Officers. To date, Police officers are convinced that the python was a victim of a pet owner’s earnest want to have a “cool” pet, only to give it up since he/she no longer wanted to have it.

As pets, ball pythons are popular as exotic pet options, and their care and upkeep isn’t really all that fickle compared to other exotic pets, though specific care and attention should be given to them.

The discovery tells of a moral story, one which speaks to those who only want something because it is cool to have, yet not committed in actually seeing things through as responsibilities come in.
