Max size and weight of male anaconda?

Curiousity Sep 18, 2003 05:14 PM

Just wondering i am considering getting one and need to make space accomidations. I have other large snakes and they are all kept in large plastic containers by rubbermaid, is this fine for an anaconda? 18 inch by 18 inch heating pads are under the tanks, is this sufficient?

IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHICH ANACONDA YOUR LOOKING TO GET. MALE YELLOW ANACONDAS YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT THE SIZE OF A RED TAIL, AVERAGE 6-8FT. NOW A MALE GREEN WILLGET MUCH LARGER AND A SWEATER BOX I BELIEVE TO BE TO SMALL. HE WILL GET 12 FEET AND IVE SEEN THEM 75 LBS. I RAISE YELLOWS AND MY FEMALE IS AT 10 FEET NOW AND 50LBS AND MY MALES ARE 8-9FT AND ABOUT 25LBS. SO WHICH EVER TYPE YOU GET I HOPE YOU GET AS MUCH ENJOYMENT FROM YOUS AS I DO MINE.
