Totally Clueless

I thought burmese python babies were like 20-25 inches when born.

They're around that size when born, yes.. but they grow several inches a month.. extremely fast. Now, not all reach 10' by the first year, but even 5' a year is nothing to sneeze at!

i think what he means is that the original poster said the snake was only 14-16" long... then again, it's hard to tell. mine looks like it's about 8-10" but it's actually 13".

another thing is... they live a looooong time!

Ah yeah..

and yeah they easily can live over 20 years.
