2 new babies came home

MPenn probably is better qualified for size accuracy since most of what I know is from reading. Below are some size references from 4 well known US breeders.

Reptilitious :::Average Size:6-7'

VPI website was down for a Jungle link so I couldn't get a size....so draw your own conclusions I guess. Females are generally larger so if someone wanted a JCP that would be smaller find a male and the lower of the sizes above would probably be a good estimate.

Hey, good to see some of you that I know on here. A local friend of ours told us about this site, seems like a pretty cool place! Also good to see pics of our kids! I sure miss that little male you got, he is going to be a nice one!!!


As for sizes, I don't think any of our male jungles are as large weight-wise as our 2 or 3 largest female ball pythons. By length our largest and oldest male jungle might be longer than them, but not by much...and the ball females are MUCH more girthy than he is. So, at least with male jungles, I would say that you could expect to get an animal about the same size as a large female ball. I guess that is my .02. I just love having both because they are SO different in their personalities! Carpets are so curious, and just can't stand to sit still while the balls are generally pretty laid back and happy to chill (unless you are trying to take pics of course). Now I am kinda babbling. I will go now.

Nice new additions! You can't go wrong with babies from Ben and Justin, they produced some beautiful jungles this year. I can honestly say that seeing thier animals last weekend made me want a female for our big 'ol male!

Ben, good to see you gettin' the morelia forum going tonight! You should post some pics of that hot little girl you brought to the show! If you have any others like her, send one my way!! :D

Hey Ben, :welcome: glad to see you here. It's nice to see more Morelia activity like Evan said. Post up some pics of your jewels they would be in some good company.

Hi Evan, I couldn't wait for that show here in Anaheim to see Ben and Justin's little babies that they had. There were superb examples of their breeding efforts and I feel lucky to have obtained a couple.
