well green condas are unlike any other snake i have ever worked with. there very lazy snakes the only time u are ever gunna see them move is when there eatting and when there pooping. other then that there gunna just lay there and let the time pass by. green condas need a good sized cage for when there adults. but young one will do fine in a smaller cage. like a 20 long is good for any one under 4 feet. greens like a temp of around 82 and no higher then 85. they tend to like the cooler temps and tend to find the coldest spot in the cage and stay there. they need to have a couple of hides in the cage being there a shy snake. the humidity should be around 70% they dont need a large water dish and young ones tend to get water blisters from to much water. now feeding a green is in its self a whole other topic. some will only eat in water some will only eat on land some will only eat at night and some will only eat chicks. every green is an individual and as a general rule feed only f/t and start off young greens on chicks then switch them to rats. some greens like jims female i took can be a pain in the neck to learn and get feeding.if u get an import its almost 100% going to have tape worms and other internal parasites. also found out ur state laws. it seems that many states have changed there laws this year and anacondas and afrocks seem to be on the top of the list of herps to ban. this is just a gerneral summery of green care. nerds care sheet is pritty good but i do disagree with a couple of the things they have on it. if u have any question please feel free and ask and i can help u out the best i can.
