    conda housing?

    Ok so I get a kick out of designing enclosures for snakes I don't have yet (got a notebook full of em for when I get the species I want) and have really been interested in yellow anacondas latly so that's my next venture to draw and figure out what its gonna cost to house a full grown conda but unlike other snakes they have a much higher need for water to be kept properly and would love to see your enclosures to get me started,

    I'm actually trying to come up with a two tier enclosure to accomadate more water and save space (it'll still be close to 7 or 8 feet long) but ima big natural enclsoure kinda guy so if y'all have any quick complete enclosure pics you can throw up id greatly appriciate it, to give me some kinda direction on my little addiction

    I too am a big fan of the "natural" enclosure, but I have been greedy and changed my large snake enclosure to newspaper and a big hide and a big water tub. I'd elevate it as you suggested but the burm in there (I keep a burm and a yellow anaconda together; before all you "don't do that" types start I've been doing this a loooooong time so don't start) would probably tip it over.

    It's 8x4x2 and the two get along nicely. The conda will sit in the water tub (mostly when digesting) and the burm just drinks from it.

    I would suggest something with some sort of vent van... but i am not sure this is possible while keeping the humidity and temperatures up to par... if you can do this, you will truly be a king!! these girls get smelly! i have to clean out her enclosure veryday with fresh newspapers and fresh water, sanitizing all the way!
