Hi. I am seriously thinking of getting a babie yellow anaconda. I have experience with large boas and pythons, and have cared for young anacondas, but never had one of my own. I have done my homework and know about their environmental needs, feeding needs, blah blah blah..but my question is about the enclouser size. I want to grow the biggest freak'en yellow female ever and I already have a 260 gallon reptarium waiting to be filled, but I have heared that having too big of an enclouser will stress them out, so I figured I could stand it on end, so it would be about 3 1/2 square floor space and about 7 feet tall, but of course I don't expcet her to climb. When she out grew of that I'd flip the tank the long way (7'x 31/2'x 31/2'), and then when she out grew that I have a room waiting to be filled. Anyways, is a 3 1/2 square foot tank too big for a baby/juvie? I was going to have half the tank be a water dish. thanx!!

Never use a reptarium for a snake, the fabric it is made of is rough because of how it is made. They will rub their nose to the cartlage on it. Start the baby in 55 gallon tank, or a 4x2 cage, then when it hits the 8 ft mark move it to an 8ftx3ftx18in custom cage, which will hold it until death, unless you get a monster 20-25 footer (which highly doubt will happen).

Also reptariums are not capable of hold the humidity required for most snakes, they also provide more venalation then nessesary.

A retarium is to open and dose not hold any humidity. condas do not need a large water dish only big enough for them to fummerge there body in. the area is to large for a babie yellow. my yellow is 2 feet long and is in a 10g and is fine. they like smaller inclosed spaces.
