Enclosure size for a adult male Green Anaconda?

[MaxiDexter]

Hello there, i am wondering if a 8 x 2 x 2 enclosure would house a adult male GA. What do you think?

An adult male could do find in this but a female, no.
I would personally go larger for a large adult male as well.

2 feet wide is not big enough for an Annie. I honestly wouldn't house any anaconda without a water feature big enough to soak completely in(and a second small one to drink out of that they will not urinate/poo in. That being said.... Is an anaconda really right for you? I've had them and I have to say they're a snake that's not right for 99% of keepers. They love to pretend everything's cool one minute then bite you 5 times and piss on you the next for no reason at all.

Agreed. Had one just like this. Wasn't amused.

That's the typical anaconda for you. Some people(I know one person, that's it) do end up with calm ones but I would never be able to "trust" one. Don't get me wrong I can't wait to have another Annie, but they are definitely not for most people.



Dave, even worse they go back to calm afterwards like you're the crazy one. Not to mention they have the worst smelling waste of any snake I've worked with and go often. They're really interesting though.

What about a 6x4 viv? The largest i can get is a 8 x 3 x 3. I have some experience with YA, and greens tend to have better temperaments so i guess it will be fine.
