This guy, Kevin is a Bredli python and he's a chunk. I could not believe how heavy he was today. This animal has boa constrictor density. https://i.imgur.com/uF5pIFD.jpg
The span of the deck rail here is 8 feet. Kevin is not stretched out, but to get perspective I wanted to mention the length of the span. My old girl, Jewel went the full length and a tad more. https://i.imgur.com/NXUEhxS.jpg
Kevin was also a tad defensive today but he calmed quickly.
These two different species are by far my favorites in the carpet group. I will say I do not have experience with Diamond pythons. I'm sure I would enjoy them just the same.
I have to say these Bredli are not only large and impressive, they are also almost bullet proof when it comes to husbandry.
No one can say you're not playing with a full (& beautiful) deck! :sweeet:

Is it a coincidence or more common than what people think?
Almost every time I search for photos of carpet pythons in the wild, I see large examples. Obviously the big ones get the media attention which isn't surprising. I'm sure there are plenty of smaller specimens to go around too.
Here are two, big combative males. The males that live a long time in the wild will typically be the larger sex according to Nick Mutton. They are more successful in combat if they are larger than their competitor and win the breeding rights.
