What you have just described as most anacondas and snakes I have ever seen. Check things out at 4 am and you might see some more activity. You are big and anaconda is little...I am sure you would be a bit shy of something you think is going to eat you. Nocturnal snakes hide in the day and often don't come out until well after you go to bed. I stay up very late usually psst 2 or 3 and my green still isnt out when the ball python and tree boas are having a blast. But last night at about 4:30...she was poking around and looking at the world with bright eyes. Anacondas also have been much more aware of the outside than most other snakes. My ball python could care less what is going on around her cage unless she has been put into a feeding response. The anaconda will go right to what it sees outside the cage and stare and follow for a long time before it makes a decision about what she is going to do about it (ignor and be on he way or go hide). If the snake is eating well I wouldn't worry too much unless you never see movement throughout the cage or the movement you see looks abnormal like she is having a difficult time and could be sick. Sounds like you have a normal anaconda though.
