    True true true.
    My male akua is a beefy lil thing... when he is not growing more length... my small male Hasani is long and lean... and 2 of my girls are long and lean while one is short and stout =D hahaha

But just for reference purposes, could someone please post pics of....say a ~100g next to a dollar bill, then do the same "next to a dollar bill" kind of reference shot for a ~250g, ~500g,~750g and so on, just for those of us who do not have any reference points.

    I actually got a check the other day that I cashed and was going to have Vincent rolling in a bunch of hundred dollar bills. I know how nasty money is though, so I didn't. Seriously though, this is a nasty reference, but when it comes to putting snakes on money, your would be safer wiping your self after a restroom break and rubbing him on that. Money is n-a-s-t-y!

    What if someone posted a 500g male that was shorter than a 400g female? Then you'd still have no reference.

    I was just looking for a ball park reference, I mean there is an obvious difference between a 1000g and a 500g snake. that's all I was aiming for an estimate.:D
