    Sizes...

    So i was talking to my friend today, who volunteers at the Orlando Science Center....he was helping them feed the snakes today. He is not extreemly knowledgable about snakes, but he said that there was a BP that was 7 ft long....will an adult really get that big? he said it was a boy too...somehow i highly doubt that...

    It is extremely unlikely but I have heard of 6 foot BP. But I really doubt it.

    Well...if it was a female and power fed...then i guess it could get that big, but it is at a science center...they know how to treat their animals, and would not Powerfeed them, or atleast to my knowledge...
    I think he might have been thinking of a Burmese, in which case it could be 7 ft..not full grown, but still 7 ft.

    If its really 7ft, call Guinness. I doubt it is actually 7 ft, most people who aren't very knowledgable about snakes (as you stated your friend wasn't) tend to exaggerate the length of snakes when they see them.
