I heard they need a enclosure with half the width of their length so they can have a soaking tub where they can submerge completely. Is this true?

How big is your enclosure?

My female is only 6' now so she is in a 48"x30"x18" enclosure. I've already purchased an 8'x3'x2' enclosure (it was being sold locally, used, and I snatched it) and I set it aside for her.
Fortunately anacondas should be slow-grown as they are boas; they're not fast growers like the giant pythons. So, they take a few years to get up to full size.

Is it true they are stronger than pythons and stink more?
