    So my friend told me..
    That she used to have a ball python female that was 8 ft long. And that ball pythons have fangs.
    Im wondering if she was sold.another species being passed off as a ball or what? But fangs? Really?

    Possible (that she had another species and not a bp). I know a lot of non snake people tend to over guestimate a snake's size, so a 4' snake might appear wildly huge to someone who's not familiar with them. I bet if I were to take my 5' boa out people (people who aren't around snakes regularly) would guess him at 7-8'

    Sure she wasn't pulling your leg?

    Maybe she could describe what it looked like?

    No she was dead serious, even had her bf baxking her up. She argued with me for 10 min on the bps having fangs thing.

    I saw an ad on CL a while back for an 8ft ball python. Me thinks people get their pythons confused. When I told my aunt about me getting a BP soon she asked "and what are you going to do when it gets 20 feet and eats your children?!" :rolleyes:

    I think she had a burm or a larger species, but shes determined to think it was a bp

    Maybe she got sold a burm/boa/retic/etc but the breeder/pet store employee said it was a bp so that's what she believed and still believes. If that's the case someone didn't do their homework :colbert:

    I've had a guy tell me he had a 16ft Bald Python, yes he called it a Bald Python. Another dude told me he had an 18ft Carpet Python after I corrected him that mine wasn't a kingsnake.
