That size enclosure should be fine for an adult retic(anaconda idk). Retics and anacondas grow very large and are very different in many ways. Anacondas a heavier and can weigh much more than a retic. Retics can are slightly thin bodied but they tend to thicken up a bit but not much. For both retics and condas there are subspecies to choose from that grow to different sizes:
Super Dwarf retic 6-7 feet
Dwarf retic 8-15
Mainland(normal) retic 18-26 possible plus feet
Green anaconda grows to about the same size as a mainland retic, however they get MUCH heavier.
Yellow anacondas 10-15
My best recomendation is to do research, research, and much more research.

well anacondas can grow past 20ft but its extremely rare most likely your looking at a thick 14-16ft snake. I would suggest a retic(that enclosure size is fine) since anacondas are semi-aquatic.

A yellow doesnt grow up to 15 ft they usually end up around 12 ft tops. As for greens its not common for them to get over 18 ft. Yes they are much heavyer.
