    I don't know about weight, but males (I assume you mean ball pythons) get up to around 2-3 feet (60-90 cm). I'd guess maybe around 1600+ grams.

    Once they get to a decent length about 3 feet they will then start to really fill out in girth. 2,000 gram adult is not unheard of at all

    The biggest ball python I've ever seen is about 5000 grams. Check it out:

    Of course it all depends on how much you feed them. I also think some lines of ball pythons are genetically different and grow a bit bigger than most. Most of my older bigger females are less than 3000 grams. You can keep them sub 1500 grams if you limit feed them and watch their weight.
