    Ball python girth
    Hello,

    Just a quick simple question.
    How much larger in girth does ball python get compare to cornsnakes.
    I have only seen baby snakes in person in reptile shops so I really can't tell as how thick they get when they are fully grown.
    I know that some ball python get really thick but in general, how thick to ball python get? Compare to cornsnakes? 2x? 3x?
    thank you

    Hey it's a valid unit of measurement!

    I forgot to mention that ball pythons are insanely strong for their size. Try holding one down while cleaning their mouth and you will know just how strong they are.
