    Lets see your big girls!
    I have wondered how big ball pythons can really get. I have had some 5 foot females that were huge but that was the biggest I had seen. Yesterday I aquired the below female from a good friend. He has had her for the last three years. He said that she has laid clutches twice. I have heard that big females don't lay eggs that often. I don't know if that is true or not. I have named this female Pear don't ask why just thought it was cool name. Last night I couldn't put her down I am in love with her. She is 6000 grams my friend told me because my scale won't go up that high. Please post your biggest females I would love to see them and hear if you have had good sucess getting them to lay eggs for you.

    Thanks everyone.
    Brock

    What a beast! Do you know how long she is? I like how her back pattern sort of overlaps itself. :)

    And I thought a 3000 gram ball was big!!

    Is a 6000 gram one that common? Possibly overfed?

    Either way she's a monster.

    What was your friend feeding her?

    There's also been a few threads like this that have been started. There's this girl in a thread I've seen that was named brannagh (sp). That weighed 3200.

    That would be our Brannagh. She actually weighed out last night empty at 3,378. :) This is my most recent picture of her taken in June 2007.

    Brock that is a MASSIVE girl! I don't have an that big so I can't say what its production might be like... but my bigger girls are just a reliable for me as any of the others.

    Here's one of my biggest. Here's my most recent pic of her... she's around 3500g. Justin

    That girl looks great on those eggs. My friend was feeding her rats. She is so docile! She weighs a ton when you have her on your neck. FrankyKeno your girl looks huge to. Did you say she weighs 3300grams. I thought that I had some big girls but she really takes the cake.


    I think that I might need a new cage for Pear. Anybody have some suggestions on what I should get to keep her in?

    Thanks

    Put her in an iris cb 110.

    I got 1 from bed bath and beyond for 15 bucks. 6 inches longer, and around 4 or 5 inches wider than a sterilite 41qt.
