Lots of questions

They don't make books for Anacondas at least not that I can find one.

I was wondering this how long can you keep a male yellow or green in a 20 gallon because, I plan on moving in a couple months into a house and would get it a bigger cage then, but I need to now if I should hold off or if I can get one now. Have not yet picked what I want.

And after reading every ones posts, yellows grow like boas, and greens a little faster, correct.

and tell me if this feeding is ok, once a week till (what size) and then 1 every two weeks and then 3-4 weeks. I know you should not power feed, and I don't want to, I just want to feed it normal and end up normal or on the smaller size.

Thank you
Jeff

I have had my Green Male for getting close to 4 months now, and while he has grown, he is still fine, more than fine in his 30 gal.

About feeding, if you want them to grow fast, feed them every week or more. I feed my green and my redtail about once a month, all they can eat, and they are healthy, active, and aware. By active, I do not mean searching for food active, I mean, when I have them out, they crawl around and watch TV with me.
