Overview
Captive green anacondas do best when given water containers in which to
soak and swim, it is important to remember that the size of the water
container will need to increase to accommodate the growing anaconda.
The majority of green anacondas are fierce biters and do not have
suitable temperaments to be kept as captives. They are not recommended
as captive pets to anyone but experienced keepers with quick reflexes
and lots of cage space.
