Biggest snake on the forum?

Just curious...who has the largest snake on this forum and how big is it? Would love to see it as well! :D

Good idea. Let's see some really big pythons. I don't own any big ones myself (retics or burmese) because they're illegal obtain and keep in Denmark.

There's a morph in Sweden that comes with a big pricetag. I've never seen it or anything like that but roughly translated into English it's morph name is.:

SuperDwarf Fire Tiger (het lucy)

I know there's a couple of 20+ footers owned by forum members, both burms and retics I believe over 20 foot?

20ft burms would be pretty happy in a 6x3 or 6x2ft cage. And I know they run even a bit bigger than that on AP.com.

Think about the breeders out there who use rack systems for their burms and retics, you say that like no one has them.

There's a couple 20ft burms on here. I don't remember who had them though.

A Snake's definition of "Happy" is it's eating, pooping, breeding regularly and feeling safe. That's about it.

She ain't massive yet but I got a burm that's a little over 6ft

This is a thread that I started awhile back. Some very nice burms and retics...

You keep snakes? I feel sorry for them.

A 20 foot snake in a 6x3... Cruelty to animals. Period.

Chris

I wasn't trying to cause debate...just wanted see some nice big snakes!

This is Marty a couple years ago, with my kids. He's now closer to 14 feet, but I don't have a camera as I keep buying herps!

Chris is that an ackie in the white cage behind them? I like that set up very nice looking

Good eye, Denial!

Yeah, I have a pair of ackies in there, though they will be moving shortly to a 6x3 so I can make room for the growing bp collection along that wall.

Besides herps, I'm always making new enclosures and getting food for the horde! :D

Well, it sounds a little tight to me too, but I only have a couple of burms and neither of them are even close to 20 feet so I really don't know.

How many 20 foot snakes do you own that you are able to make that statement?

I think an 8' by 4' would be a bit better.

Meh...everyone is a critic.

I don't have any 20' pythons so I won't comment on that...

But.

I don't advocate for exposed electrical fixtures within my animals enclosure. You can buy...or very easily build your own protective covers. You can find them at this website...http://www.pythons.com.au/Reptile_Products_lighting.htm

Sure...people say "well I have never had an issue with my reptiles and lights in there cage..." But I think it is an accident waiting to happen thus putting your animal in danger.

...eh everyone is a critic right? :)

I've always been told the total cage size, length + length + width + width, should NEVER be shorter than the snakes size.

6' + 6' +3' +3'= 18'.. small than a 20' snake..

6' + 6' +2' +2'= 16'.. way too small

An 8' x 4' would be a great size for anything 20'

most giant keepers i talk to use 8'longx4'wx2'h

Exposed ligthing is not really a problem with monitors.

I don't believe it would be either but I believe he is refering to the electrical outlet you can barely see that is behind Chris' daughter.

I didn't see it i figured he was talking about the monitor sorry.

Do not currently own any 20' snakes. My burm is in an 8x4, but if he exceeds 15 feet and 200 lbs. that will become a 12x4.

Jerhart mentioned "exposed electrical fixtures within" enclosures. Obviously he doesn't keep monitors. Putting a cover over the lights (like I do in the burm's enclosure) just gives the lizards something to hang onto, thus increasing the possibility of burns.

This is a 3 page long thread about pics of giants, and I'm the only one to have posted a pic... What's up with that?

Chris

Sorry chris I would post pics but I dont have any new ones

Maybe they just don't want to be judged and accused of being cruel to their animals.

Yeah a lot of people will see your cage and it doesn't have a tire swing or a merry-go-round and they are ready to snitch the SPCA on you.

That's why my giants have water slides, full on swing sets and rollercoasters!
