BP size by sex

I'm looking at a local snake tomorrow. 12 yo normal at 4.5 feet - no weight but very healthy looking. Are females more likely to grow to that size or is it a crap shoot?

Yes females can get that length, but then again some males can also, crap shoot. Take a gamble, play those odds!! :D

Males can get just as big if not bigger than females. My male mojave is an 09 and is 1600g already and growing non stop.

Genetics play a role on how big the offspring will be.

thank you. I figure - more likely female than male...will post the results. Just ordered a probe set for the future...

Probes are pointless with Ball pythons. They can be popped at any age and size.

Dont go buying a huge/large ball python thinking its female. You will be shocked how big males can get too.

you can pop a 3000+ gram bp? I was totally unaware of that.

Yes you can if you know how to pop properly.

My first bp Ive had for around 10 years old and he can dwarf some of my biggest females

I have a 2800 male pastel. He's also almost 5' at 10 years old.

Just made another post. It was a boy and WAY under weight. I was estimating weight by the 4.5 foot size...he was really skinny when i saw him today. I was able to pop him and got sperm plugs too...
