Reasonable sized python?

I am not positive, but I do believe carpets get pretty large. I as I`ve said have an around 11 or so foot Burm, but I can manage him myself. eventhough it is not recomended, I still do. I just don`t put him around my neck anymore.(he stil is a snake) no matter how docile he is.
I might be getting the granite confused with the carpet, but I do believe I remember seeing very large carpets.

Yeah im thinking that the blood will be fine, they can get max 10 feet right? and thats manageable alone if you aren't stupid (like you said, not putting it around your neck ect)

Besides by the time it gets to be 8 - 10 feet ill be over 20 years old lol!

Are you talking about a Blood again?

yeah, now I am LOL, this tiem it isn't an accident though :D


EDIT: also, about the pastel redtail I dont know about it, I checked prices but its 200 dolalrs plus 68 for shipping which is way out of my budget unfortunatly (they also dont have them at the breeder near me :( )

A blood or short tail over 8 feet would likely be a record holder..I would suggest a Borneo short tail or Sumatran black short tail..Both are rather passive and acclimate quite well..See my thread under Blood pythons titled
Love my Borneos..:salute:

Ooo so more like 5 - 7 feet is more accurate? brb i gotta check the website, but I don't think they have short tails or borneos where I am, gotta check though :)

Brb gonna pull up the website

Again, a Blood or Short Tail may not make the best beginner type snake, they arent as forgiving as Ball Pythons husbandry wise and can do downhill rather quickly if you dont ensure a proper setup.

Size wise, they all vary and there's giants and runts of all 3 species, but expect around 4 to 6 feet.

Oh yeah I will have a perfect set up, I know temps and humidity needed. Im getting a thermostat and 3 thermometers (one with a probe, one with humidity guage and temp, and one just pure temp. All digital) also getting UTH ect ect

I had a corn snake for a few years that was 6 foot long, but had to give it away cuz we were moving. Also I have dealth with large snakes with my dads friend before so im fairly experienced

I can guarantee if I get a blood it will be happy and healthy :)

I really love them. I think im going to buy it at any cost. I just love them so much more than Ball pythons, And im so confident that I CAN take very good care of it with right temps and humidity ect

I really think im gonna get the blood. They are so amazing I can't get over it!

Where do you live?
