Wow, thanks for all that information! Took me a bit to read through it, lol. The cage is 6' by 3' I believe. But I think i'd get a different cage ready by the time it was an adult if I choose an Anaconda. This cage has been used a lot, and I could probably order up a new one.

I am aware that they love the water, and I've got many different sized sterilite tubs they could use laying around the house. So I am not worried about that. I am planning on purchasing a baby, I have handled some babies before and they were pretty calm. Yet I know that can change as they grow older. I've gone a lot of re-search on then, and think I have myself prepared for what I am getting myself into. Anacondas are much different than any other snakes, very unique creatures and I'd love to own one.
