Viv size for male Yellow Anaconda?

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?

While I haven't done any side-by-side strength comparisons between the two, remember that for the same length anaconda versus retic or burm, the anaconda is going to be thicker and older. So, it wouldn't surprise me if it were stronger.

They tend to stink because they like to "go" in their water and then marinate in it.
