Hey, Anaconda experts. I just got my first Anaconda today. She is CB and about 3 feet long. My question is, is it ok to keep her on sani-chips? That's what I use for all my other snakes including Retics, Boas, and Burms. The humidity is right without misting because I didn't drill but a few holes in her tub and I have a 125 gallon Caiman pond in the room so there is always moisture in the air. The pond evaporates about a gallon a day. I know most people keep their Anancondas on something that can be misted like cypress or paper. Do I need to switch or are the wood chips ok? I never have a problem with my other snakes but i'm just not sure about the Anaconda. I only have a small bowl for drinking. I don't want to have to worry about water blisters. Thanks for any help.

Oh, I was told she is a little over a year old. Is 3-4 feet about right for her size or should she be bigger? I know this all depends on feeding but what is a good size for this age? Thanks again.
