    wow, i guess i'll just ask her not to put the snake on her neck.. honestly me myself will never be comfortable to put the snake near my face. :D

    and wow man, a more than 14lbs BP ... that actually is the LARGEST BP i've ever read. you must have really loved her and fed her extremely well that she grew that much. I enjoy your experience.. seems unique compared to others but again, 21 years of owning it.......... yeah i bet you are one of the most experienced snake owners here :)

    is she really a pure breed or probably a mix (if that even possible with snakes)... that's really really huge for a BP. actually they say usually adults are up to 3ft to 5ft long only..

    how old is your BP? :) i think a 2 lbs snake is fine.. i dunno what's the average weight for a fully mature BP though

    She's a WC normal. Had her since she was a baby. She has a wonderful tempermant. I wouldn't call myself an expert. These animals are pretty hardy, which is a good thing in many cases.

    Yes, she is very, very large. Thick neck, fat and full bodied. Not super long though, maybe 5 feet?

    Whoo boy. If I had a bf that told me he'd move out when my snakes got full size, I'd have to say there's the door...NOW. :rofl:

    My lovely pastel boy is only 3 years old.

    Just this past Sunday I got myself a nice dinker normal girl whose a whopping 2000 grams, and just recently had eggs. I imagine once she's back up to weight, she'll be 2700 + easily. She's about 6 years old.

    She sure is a BIG girl, but just as sweet as can be, a little timid, since she was a breeder, but still just as docile as a lamb. My daughter has already handled her and just loves her.

    If your girlfriend is at all nervous, just tell her she doesn't have to put it around her neck.
