    Re: Green Anaconda... any one house them in racks?

    I havent housed them in racks but I know some people who keep them in racks while there smaller. I keep mine in a vision cage that has all the vents taped so the humidity will stay up. And shes getting an animal plastics cage for christmas because they hold humidity better. I doubt that freedom breeder rack would be good for an anaconda. I have an ars rack and I wouldnt put my anaconda in it.

    Plus that price tag is a bit high for a 3 cage system.

    You would have a VERY hard time keeping the humidity right in a freedom breeder. When you have freedom breeders and ars caging since they are an open air system they need to be in a controlled environment. I have a very hard time just raising the humidity in my ars rack to get a snake to shed in once clean piece. And they are crazy high. You can get an animal plastic t25 for a little over 300 and you wont have any problem keeping humidity in them

    I was assuming it was the same as any other rack system, thanks for the info, always glad to learn something new.

    Yea I thought I REALLY wanted an ars rack cause I thought they were the best looking racks but there to hard to keep temps and humidity right in them.

    Re: Green Anaconda... any one house them in racks?

    I housed my Yellow Conda in a rack for about a year.
    He did great, and now he is in a Boaphile.
    I would love to keep him in a rack, just due to the fact the humidity was AMAZING. But he does great in his new cage too.
