• Aspen shavings: Aspen shavings are a popular substrate because they are absorbent and easy to clean. However, they can be dusty, so it is important to mist them regularly to keep them moist.
• Cypress mulch: Cypress mulch is another popular substrate because it is also absorbent and easy to clean. It is also less dusty than aspen shavings, so it is a good option for people with allergies.
• Coconut husk: Coconut husk is a natural substrate that is made from the husks of coconuts. It is a good insulator and it helps to maintain humidity.
• Reptile carpet: Reptile carpet is a synthetic substrate that is easy to clean and does not harbor bacteria. However, it can be slippery, so it is important to provide your snake with some other objects to grip onto.

Green anacondas are tropical snakes, so they require a warm and humid environment. The ideal temperature for a green anaconda is between 80 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity should be between 60 and 80%.

To maintain the proper temperature and humidity in your snake's enclosure, you will need to use a heat source and a humidifier. A heat lamp can be used to provide heat, and a humidifier can be used to add moisture to the air.

Green anacondas do not require a lot of light, but they do need a source of UVB light to help them metabolize calcium. A UVB light can be installed in your snake's enclosure or you can take your snake outside for short periods of time to get exposure to natural sunlight.

Green anacondas need access to fresh water at all times. You should provide your snake with a large water bowl that is big enough for them to soak in. The water should be changed regularly to keep it clean.

Green anacondas are carnivores and they eat a variety of prey, including rodents, birds, and fish. You should feed your snake a diet that is appropriate for their size and age. Adult green anacondas can eat once a week or less, while younger snakes may need to eat more often.

Green anacondas are powerful snakes and they can be dangerous if they are not handled properly. It is important to avoid handling your snake too often, and you should always be gentle when you do. If you are concerned about handling your snake, you can consult with a professional herpetologist for guidance.

Green anacondas can make fascinating pets, but they also require specialized care and housing. By following the guidelines in this guide, you can provide your green anaconda with a healthy and happy home.
