I keep mine is small cages, 14 to 20 square feet. They have heated water to soak in, and branches to climb on. I use floor-heat only. I use no cages under 24" high for Anacondas. Anacondas, like the large Pythons, are ambush predators, and do not need to move around much. When healthy, and happy, they will stay put, often for weeks, sometimes arboreal! When they get hungry, and start to hunt, I feed them. It averages out to 10 to 12 times per year, for adults. I use newspaper substrate, in several layers. I also wad many pieces into tight balls. They will pile these on top of themselves when they want to hide, which is very seldom, usually when digesting. When I feed them, I feed them until they are FULL, and will accept no more. If I thaw out too many, and even fill-up my garbage-disposal Ball Python, I make a great pizza!! Crunchy. Yummy!
