My male is 5 years old and around 9 feet and 25 pounds....sexually mature males start fasting in their 2nd or 3rd winter. My male fasted 7 months this past breeding season. standard Colombian BCI setup should be fine. Anacondas definitely do NOT need soaking tub... a small drinking container is fine though they should have moderate to high humidity during the spring and summer. Hope this helps ya.
