I think it's great that you have taken up a task of keeping such a facinating animal and good luck. I just have one thing to add and I hope you take it seriously. You said you got bit and it was ok, but just plan in advance for when she gets bigger. Anacondas are NOT tame, they may seem like it but they are true hunters. I had an adult green anaconda that got to be 24 feet, and keeping her was a trip! I got bit by her once, when she just reached 22 feet and it was not ok!!! Nevermind the pain, the actual bite was nasty. Because they have teeth that curve inside their mouths, I had to push my arm into her mouth even further to dislodge the teeth first, otherwise they might have broken and got stuck in my arm. Not only did I need help but also luck to try to get her off of me and my arm, and in addition that darn pig that I was trying to feed her was squeeking around me, making her bite me harder because she really thought i was her food. The would healed within 4 months and there's no trace of it now, but my memory of her bite turns on everytime i look at baby anacondas!
Just remember to always have 2 people to handle her once she gets bigger! Otherwise you might be stuck in the same position I was a few years ago, with the darn pig!!!
