I have seen too many photos of Burms and Retics shoved into 4-6 foot enclosures, folded over on themselves for lack of room.

Yes that is sad, Yet unthinking folks who must have that "impressive" snake get in way over their heads time after time...

I have always found Anacondas fascinating, but until I could have a 20 foot by 20 foot paddock that would make a zoo proud, I'll pass on even trying to keep one.
