500 Grammers?

I did a search in the gallery, and of the forums, (and google) and can't seem to find any comparison shots with 500 gram BPs in them. I am picking up an 08 500 Gram Male 100% Het Clown on Monday, and was just trying to explain to the fiance how big that was but simply saying "it's 500 grams" doesn't work. Lol....

So any of you got pics of one with either you holding them, or next to some item that has a known size...ie a ruler, a coke bottle, ink-pen? Even an overhead shot of one in it's tub (with the size of the tub listed)....that would give us a good idea.

Thanks for any help that you can provide!

Tell her it weighs a pound. That's at least in a unit she's used ti.

Ya, I used the unit converter...I think we are looking for length/girth...
I already know that I am putting him in a 35 qt and stuff like that...We are just looking for a size comparison picture.....(maybe it's me just being stupid-anxious about getting my new snake :) )

Thanks,

Cup your hands together and tell her the snake coils up about that big :D

The snake is very likely over 30 inches and maybe as round as a quarter (VERY rough estimates) but there is quite a bit of variation between BP girth and lengths when they're that young, as they all grow at different rates.

Hi,

Well this guy is 439g and didn't get fed because he was in shed.

I do have one at 497g but she just ate last night so I didn't want to mess with her. :oops:

If it helps that can of coke is 4 and a half inches long.

Thank you so much Dr Del! That helps alot actually...even if it is 439 grams, it definitely gives me an idea...

Here are a few of mine around that size... give or take. ;)

P.S. The tub in that second picture is a 41qt Sterilite, and in the guitar picture Toby's probably closer to 600g.

Thanks. :) He's been locking with two of my normal gals (one dark & one light-colored) for a few months now, so I hope to see little Tobys in the near future!
