It’d have been considerably faster to google this.

Male/Female and Yellow/Green?

You pretty much got the facts but anacondas grow at their own rate. I’ve seen one that grew around 5ft in one year and other that only have grown 2ft. All depends on how much they are eating. ( some run into feeding problems )

I’d say 8-13’ or 8-13.5’ for Male Greens as avg but not extreme limit.

On avg your male greens wont be breaking 13 feet and even then a 13ft male green is considered quite a large specimen. A 15 foot male green would be an exceptionally large male.

I can go with most things already stated. Female yellows have certainly hit the 15 ft mark and over 100 lbs. Male greens that big are pretty much not existing, but very close.

It would not be hard for a green to hit 5 ft in a year...especially when they can be born nearly that size.

Also, greens will usually grow slower because their husbandry should be different than the pythons. They will seek, and should be given lower temperatures. Needless to say, this does mean a slightly slower metabolism. If you keep them at high temps all the time and feed them all they will take, they will grow quicker...but also likely die sooner.
