WOW, she is a big girl...pretty too!
Are the females naturaly larger than the males ? 6 feet is a monster BP! I hope mine grows a little more, but he is already 3 years old.
Usually. I've seen some big males too, but usually the females are bigger. They have to have room for eggs :)

And they have to have enough energy reserves for producing and incubating the eggs without eating all through breeding season. At least in nature. People usually take care of the second part for them and get them back on feed quickly.

Thank you :) I have a couple of large females but most are around 1800 grams, I have a large male as well. Females tend to grow larger than males in most species of snake :)

Hey! Yep, quite sure. :) I just got finished building that box a couple days ago...it's actually a rabbit hutch thing that I flipped onto its side to use as a convenient white background to photograph my snakes before I put it out for the rabbit to use. It might actually be a bit wider than 18 inches, because those 2x2 posts were measured to 18 inches, so...yeah. It's roundabout 18 inches, probably a little bigger.

Are you talking about the girl who was wrapped around the 6-pack? She was HUGE!
