Well a 55 would hold him for a while ... Anacondas dont grow very fast ( compared to retics,burms ) I would put aluminum foil on top soo all the humidity doesnt escape... |

1) a 20 inch snake by NO MEANS needs a 55 gallon tank! A 20, or even 30 gallon tank will keep him very well for a good time to come. Too much space is as scary as too little space for anacondas and unless you plan to fill that tank to the brim with hides, water bowl, foliage, vegitation, etc to make it feel tight and secure, I would go lower until your boy starts to go. A tank 2/3 the length of the snake is perfectly acceptable, so a 2 foot tank (typical 20 gallon) would last you until you guy has put on another foot of length. 2) Captive Born, as stated, means an imported mother who gave birth in captivity. 55 Gallon, as stated, will be more than enough for quite a while. Aluminum foil?? I must say in all my time around anacondas, heck snakes in general, I have not heard this particular material suggested. Most people go with a damp cloth. Aluminum foil traps in heat and would thus dry the enclosure more than it would himidify it from the sounds of it. If you have personal experience refuting this I would be curious, but I’m sure many people can recall making those no-gas ovens out of aluminum foil that turn a cardbord box into one heck of a cooker! 3) Captive bred has some slight advantages to captive born in that the male is very selectively chosen, gestation is more heavily monitored and food is more regulated. The last two can sometimes reflect themselves in the health/size of neonates (babies) born, but even so, being born in captivity means they have been handled and acclimated (at least slightly) to people, so you’ve got good things going for you. 4) Since anacondas dont lay eggs then Captive Hatched would never apply to them. The typical terms are WC - Wild Caught (born and raised in the wild and imported later) CB - Captive Born (wild caught mother who gives birth, eggs or live, once imported) CBB - Captive Bred and Born (mother and father chosen by breeder and babies raised in captivity) The manner of birth (egg/live) is irrelevant to CB or CBB. For more info Ironman I suggest looking through some of the older threads on this forum. Topics dont exactly fly off the front page so you have a lot of valuable information to find by just looking through the older threads. ~GNP |

Anacondas are dirty, dirty snakes! They make BPs or RTB look like neat freaks as far as feces and urates go. More in the tank, means more stuff to clean. ~GNP |
