    This was amazing!!!

    hi guys

    the other day i went to me local pet shop and saw a royal that was 5 ft long and really thick. i went to ask the guy about him but he was being bought so i couldn't find out anything about it.

    i am in awe of this amazing creature! me having a standard BP 'dave' whose 4ft at a stretch and standard thickness. This thing was like a giant size and completely amazing.

    how is this possible, is it like cross bred until that size? or was it just that type of royal? i have heard about power feeding and disagree with it completely but i must admit this was amazing.

    Any Help?

    They come big and they come small..

    Some people say that it is locality specific for the giant BPs.

    Re: This was amazing!!!

    My understanding is female bp's can go to 6 feet long. Although I've never seen one topping 5 feet... Yeah, that would be amazing to see.
    ----------------------------------
    BP owner since Oct 2008, so yeah, I'm no expert.
    0.1.0 pastel bp
    1.0.0 spider bp
    0.1.0 albino bp
    1.0.0 bumblebee bp
    1.0.0 yellowbelly bp
    0.0.1 normal bp
    1.0.0 normal western hognose


    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    1.0.0 = 1 Male animal

    0.1.0 = 1 Female animal

    0.0.1 = 1 Unsexed animal

    Re: This was amazing!!!

    It is the ratio of males to females to unknown.

    For example if you have three BP's, all normals. Instead of listing them as one male normal on female normal and one un-sexed or unknown. You could list them like this.

    1.1.1. Normal Ball Pythons

    Male.Female.Unknown
