    So my friend told me..

    That she used to have a ball python female that was 8 ft long. And that ball pythons have fangs.
    Im wondering if she was sold.another species being passed off as a ball or what? But fangs? Really?

    Possible (that she had another species and not a bp). I know a lot of non snake people tend to over guestimate a snake's size, so a 4' snake might appear wildly huge to someone who's not familiar with them. I bet if I were to take my 5' boa out people (people who aren't around snakes regularly) would guess him at 7-8'

    Sure she wasn't pulling your leg?

    Maybe she could describe what it looked like?

    I saw an ad on CL a while back for an 8ft ball python. Me thinks people get their pythons confused. When I told my aunt about me getting a BP soon she asked "and what are you going to do when it gets 20 feet and eats your children?!"

    Maybe she got sold a burm/boa/retic/etc but the breeder/pet store employee said it was a bp so that's what she believed and still believes. If that's the case someone didn't do their homework

    I've had a guy tell me he had a 16ft Bald Python, yes he called it a Bald Python. Another dude told me he had an 18ft Carpet Python after I corrected him that mine wasn't a kingsnake.
