page 6, post 59

here is the link to the thread with the dead ball that measures 6'2". go to page 6 post 59. posted by davevh.

771 you must have beat me by seconds. oh well I tried.

Adam Wysocki has an awesome large female. Ive seen that Ghana female post before. Just crazy!!

My largest is 3200g. I should measure her. She has a huge head like those linked pics..

When my brain works the right way, then came much more BIG-Bals from Ghana.
And I think, the real big ones came only from there.

Whoah that one is huge! Almost like a burmese python. And it has nice belly markings too

Yea man cool thank you driving me nuts i could not find it. !!! :rockon:

yeah, but it's dead. and probably rotting. my spider died and after a couple of days, she grew around 2-3 inches and was really bloated when i found her. so maybe that's what happend there?:confused: just my opinion.:P

Yep, I didnt get to see it in real life, but I saw a huge pic of it at a reptile Pet store about an hour and 45 mins. away from me. I ask the guy who owns the place, and he told me about it. Apparently this guy walks in asking him if he could sex his bp, (the owner of the store, Nick is known around here for sexing snakes for free so, alot people went to him for that.) The guy then takes his snake out of the bag and they place the bp on the table and stretch him out. They measure him, and took a photo. Nick said as soon as he saw it, he instantly said FEMALE! But it ended up being healthy 25 year old a male ball python.
Its nice to hear about good stories like that. The pic was insane too, it was of Nick, and the owner holding the snake, it was just massive for a bp. I wish I could have gotten a pic of the pic. ):

I have a 5 1/2 foot female. Shes grown so I don't know how big she is now.
