this is the warm side, using the water to keep humidity up and have tried to cover it as best i can to try and entice him into the water without feeling too exposed...


this is the cool side, nice wee hide with plenty of cover, and tried to leave a wee trail of foilage along the back wall so he can move between both ends without being exposed.


The substrate is orchid bark and is deep enough for him to completely submerge himself in...

Re: Green Anaconda...

The reason a asked for picture of your set up is i wanted to see how much stuff was in the cage. A couple years ago i read about a breeder in England who was having problems with aggressive Anacondas. so he try a couple things to see if he could tame them down some. The one thing he found that worked best and he swore by his was no hides.

He took all hides out of the cages only leaving the water bowl. He then made the substrate deeper. Where they could cover most of their body. He made it were the top of the water bowl was only a couple inches above the substrate. He found they would burrow more like being in the water with just their head poking out. With in a month or so he noticed they were not as defensive and not as ready to bite. I know it sound backwards from every thing we ever been told about snake sand hides. He said have a few months they all had mellow out and were so much easier to handle.

I wish i could find the thing but the site it was on is no longer around. It might be worth trying just to see if it works.
