My last snake was a T`dadian rainbow boa named 'Iris' (the spanish word for a rainbow is 'Arco Iris", or Iris' bow'. Lent her on a breeding loan a few years ago, never heard a word from the guy who moved out of state! Julius >>Harry, You're quite right. I bred and raised green anacondas. The breeding female died at 27 years old of congestive heart failure; she had an ovario-hysterectomy at 25 years of age. I now restrict my love of animals to 30 aquaria; much easier to care for!
