What size enclosure

titustetricus Oct 01, 2004 01:46 PM

Hi All,
I currently have a BRB, and one day, not anytime soon as I can see I am hoping to have a Green Ananconda. I am just wondering out of curiosity at this point, what size ecnlosures do you guys keep full size adults in? Thanks.

too many factors to answer that in full now. Remember a female is 3 times the size of the male and large water bowls can be an option. This puts a huge range in the approptiate size of a cage. Minimum would be an 8 ft by 3 ft to allow a male to get as big as they want. If your females are over 15 ft...you need a big house for her.

I agree, I house my female green anaconda in an 8' long x 3' wide right now. She is only 7' ft long. After about 5' when they star on medium rats, they really grow fast. I agree though, after 15' you will need to go bigger in most cases, ESPECIALLY if you want them to soak.
