My pics are on the computer at home. He is just over 5'6" long. He was a rescue and the old owners told us it was a female (given the size...We believed them). Once I got better at sexing BP's I probed him, then popped him thinking it probed wrong...Penes don't lie! : )
I haven't bred him yet, since all of my females are for specific breeding projects. Next year I may pair him to one of my larger normal femals, just to see if his size could be genetic? I would love to have his size passed onto a female!

Normal male I've had for 4 years was over 2200 grams last time I weighed him.

I have a male of unknown age who, I am sure, weighs more than 2500g. Just how much more, I don't know, because I found out by weighing him that my scale maxes out there. :rolleyes: Time for a new scale! LOL He's a BIG boy!

My big male is as of today 2350 although feeding day was just on Saturday and he is 'full' so to speak. :cool: I don't know how old he is I got him a while ago he came from a friend whom had him 10 years and he rescued him from a neglectful previous owner. He is very close to 5 foot maybe a touch bigger.

Had some larger males in the past but at the moment I have a het caramel male that is around 1500 grams. I wish I had pics of some of my old ones. I had a male that I named tumor head that was about 10 years of age and around 2500 grams. He got his name from a tumor that developed right in front of his right eye. We got it removed, but the indention was severe afterwards. Gave him character, and did not affect his habits at all.
