 How big of a cage

Well the cage you posted is very tall I dont really like cages that tall for my snakes cuz its hard to keep the right temps but if you can keep the right temps then you wont have a problem.... As for a cage I think a 6X2X2 is plenty of room for a adult female or male yellow anaconda... If you want a green I suggest you get a male and a 8X2X2 cage will be fine!
As for care look at this website www.BenRenick.com
Some people choose not to let their condas soak all that much and some let them soak alot.. When I get my yellow anacondas im only gonna let them soak 2 times a week but you still need a water bowl for them to drink from...
But if you choose not to let them soak you need to keep humidity for them around 50% and they are fine yellow anacondas get 7-12 ft small males to large females...but usually male get around 8ft-9ft and females around 9ft-11ft...As for Green Anacondas they get 13-18ft on average... males usually around 13-15ft and females 14+ft
Hope I helped a little!
