Big girl

Biggest we have so far. Just a normal, but has produced clutches of 10+ eggs in the past.

She's about 5 feet or so, 3900 grams. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...783ca7abc1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2af4eb32b0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cce7ef59ef.jpg

I like the larger animals. All of my large ones have exceptional temperaments and are easy to deal with. I am intentionally breeding for the large animals which tend to be easy feeders.

I share your enthusiasm for larger ball pythons. I had always felt ball pythons would be perfect snakes if they were: (1) less picky eaters overall, and (3) a bit larger. I also find larger animals strike a nice balance between a longer but solidly built snake and the short "small blood python" look. I spent some effort awhile back looking for a person who specialized in "volta" ball pythons to see if I could acquire some reliably large (5000g+) CB snakes, but they seem to be few and far between.

The ones I have that have been bred for size are over 1000 grams at a year old. A phantom I produced last year is close to 2000 grams already. I am not really doing anything special with them, they just don't skip too many meals. I don't know if they have any of the "volta" blood or not. One of my founding sires was a big boy and seems to pass his size to his offspring.

beautiful big girl. [emoji4] how old is she?

Did you feed her every 5 days when she was young to help with that?

My almost 3 month olds eats like a champ and goes into feeding mode every 5 days it seems. I'm trying to cut her to 7.

I may keep it at every 5 so she gets bigger.

Babies eat every 5, juvies eat every 7 to 10, and adults are fed every 8 to 14 days.
