IM no expert by any means but have been keeping anacondas for several years now. i keep mine on newspaper so Im sure that the chips your using will be fine. one thing that i would suggest is to at least have a water dish around big enough for him to soak in when it gets close to shed time. i keep a large water area in my anaconda cages for soaking and everytime they get close to shedding they head straight for the water and will stay in it for several days. I have never had a problem with water blisters. If you do feel that the anaconda is spending to much time in the water then you could drain the water area for a few days and provide a small drinking dish. doing it this way would prevent any worries about humidity or water blisters plus it gives the anaconda the option to do what it would do in the wild and to me trying to get as close to their natural habitat is important for a happy stress free animal. just a suggestion that might work.
