Thanks buddy!

I had some of the same feelings you had with your male. I was tempted to place this guy but have upped my game a bit.

I've come to realize he's not going to be a relaxed animal.

It's OK as long as he keeps his current size.

He's an exceptional specimen Gio! I love his large but manageable size and his lean-n-mean body structure.

Thanks Zig!

My best guess is he's 8.5 to 9 feet but lean. Lean as in muscular and healthy as you noted.

Sadly, this particular snake hasn't let me measure his length which is in contrast with all of the others here.

I still haven't gone the route of buying the armor type gloves, but the new hook was a great purchase.

I recently bought a huge plastic storage bin to temporarily contain him when I'm cleaning his cage.

As you well know from your own python collection, some of these guys require a bit more work.

When it comes to measuring my retics I use floor tiles to get an estimate. They are way to active to do it any other way but that is one thing I love about them.

I have a phone app that probably can do it. I need to get him in the grass and have my kid use the app.

Someday I'll be a bit more motivated to give it a whirl.
