A male green would probably be a good choice for your first anaconda over a female just due to the adult size difference. As mentioned, a healthy, feeding snake is first priority. Anacondas are less tolerant of half-hearted husbandry or hap-hazard handling as the retics or burms. But as long as you pay a little more attention to what you are doing, you can maintain an anaconda pretty much like you do your retic. Also don't get too hung up on their love for water. An aquatic set up is not necessary or really even recommended as mentioned is several posts further down this forum. Actually, if you haven't already, go down through and read most, if not all, of the posts on this forum. There is a lot of great info here from qualified individuals and will probably answer most any question you would have, prepping you for proper anaconda ownership. Good Luck!
