Meet Dex

He's 3 (or 4) years old at just 3'. He weighs about 900g. How is he size wise? Average? The females are the ones that get 6' (or can) correct? Is it rare to see a 6' BP? I'm asking cause I'm debating getting another BP or a RTB. I know the RTB will get big enough... too big if it gets on the large end.

He looks fat n healthy :). I like that second picture.

He looks great!


6' ball pythons are pretty uncommon...you certainly couldn't count on your girl growing that big...and I would guess it usually takes many years before they would finally reach such an unusual size.

As for the RTB..."too big" is in the eye of the keeper. ;) I would imagine that a nice male BCI would get plenty big enough to get that "big snake feel" without getting so large as to feel unmanageable.

Very handsome! :) Love the 2nd pix!

aww, he looks a lot like my girl, Harlett. Same age and size.

Sweet looking snake! I like that 2nd pic also.
