Biggest BP's

Im interested to see some large almost fully grown ball pythons. My largest BP is 3ft i wanted to see some 4 footer maybe even a 5 footer.:D

I have searched around couldnt find much.

Where in so fl are you located?

lol, I am in West Palm now

HAHA I don't know if your tying to be an ass or just make a funny if not then don't take offense. But i am an experienced reptile owner and that's a Burmese Python. I use to own a 9ft Green Albino Burmese before these laws past down here.

If they put BP's on the list im just gonna give up on FL and move, or keep them illegaly. Im tired of stupid stuff like this, and dumb people that buy burms and retics etc and they get to big or they just dont want em so they let them go. Thats why every one of my snakes is a rescue i take in unwanted reptiles, in the last month i have received 4 BP's 2 juvies and 2 adults.

HOLY JEBUS that girl is huge.

I've been there a few times, was going to get a skunk once. Still want one

Yeah i wanted an albino skunk, i think there pretty neat but i cant be having large constrictors around a tasty morsal like that.

5000 Grams....thats one healthy BP !

Mine is a nice 4 footer, but I dont have photos of him stretched out wich I have been wanting to get so I will try and get a couple new pics today.

This is the best I have but by the time I got my camera out he started to go under the bark. But notice his tail is about 6 inches from the end of the tank, and the board shown under the tank is right in the middle...and that is a 75 gallonn tank, 48Lx18Dx21H. He was only being fed once a month before I got him so he will fatten up soon if I can get him to change his feeding times to every 10 days or so. I may have to slowly change his feeding time from 4 weeks to 3 weeks, to 2 weeks, until I get him on track, he hasnt shown any interest in eating yet but I will keep working with him.

My big girl is about 52" and 2000 grams. This will be her first breeding season. I'm so excited! I'm hoping for a whole pile of eggs, but even one healthy, plump hatchling will be so worth it. :) I'll have to try and get some updated pics of her. She's such a big baby.

I forgot I cant edit a post after so long...was just going to swap out pics. But anyway, he wouldnt stay stretched out for the camera but I was able to check him and he is just under 49 inches.

Hey, here's a pic of my biggest girl. She's not the biggest snake out there but this is a fairly good scale pic. The box she's in is 4 feet long and 18 inches wide. Lol, don't mind my feet. This snake weighs about 2400-2500g and is still growing, albeit slowly.

If you want any other pictures for scale, just say the word.

Are you sure its 18 inches wide ? thats over a foot,

WOW, she is a big girl...pretty too!
Are the females naturaly larger than the males ? 6 feet is a monster BP! I hope mine grows a little more, but he is already 3 years old.

Usually. I've seen some big males too, but usually the females are bigger. They have to have room for eggs :)

And they have to have enough energy reserves for producing and incubating the eggs without eating all through breeding season. At least in nature. People usually take care of the second part for them and get them back on feed quickly.

How about size versis age I have a snake born 10-15-2008 that as of 6-1-2010 is 2400 grams. :D

Thank you :) I have a couple of large females but most are around 1800 grams, I have a large male as well. Females tend to grow larger than males in most species of snake :)

Hey! Yep, quite sure. :) I just got finished building that box a couple days ago...it's actually a rabbit hutch thing that I flipped onto its side to use as a convenient white background to photograph my snakes before I put it out for the rabbit to use. It might actually be a bit wider than 18 inches, because those 2x2 posts were measured to 18 inches, so...yeah. It's roundabout 18 inches, probably a little bigger.

ANyone have that picture Wysocki posted a while back of that MASSIVE female he had?

Now I feel like a div :( I thought you meant the royal was 18 inches wide lol.

Im hoping to get my largest BP Hades who is 3ft to at least 3500-4000 grams in the next year or so.

There's someone on this forum with a big girl named "Pear" I think, who unless my memory doth deceive me (as it often does) weighs 6000g :O......maybe they'll post.

My Biggest female is a wc that has been in the country for the last 2 years and she measures out at 5ft. 2 in. long and is 3500g

4kg female - about 5.5 ft...

Here is my big boy Randal... He's in shed obviously but I decided to snap a few shots anyway. I got him in 2000 as a baby from a pet store so he's about 10 years old now. My first Ball Python actually :D I don't have a weight on him but as you can see he's huge. He is over 60 inches.

Brock Wagner. :)

bring this thread back!

I got to see one of the oldest female spiders and she was a whopping 11.5lbs, biggest female ball I ever saw

Sorry i dont have any pics but the first BP my family ever had was a 6ft female rescue, my mom adopted her out though because she was an escape artist =(

my 5000g reduced pattern female. last year was her first year breeding and she produced 14 healthey eggs that all hatched. she's been locking up with my mojave pied male as of lately:)

My biggest BP is Mona, who probably weighs about 2400g now (?), and is right around 5ft long... not all that impressive compared to some on here, but she's still a good-sized gal. She laid 7 eggs over the summer (6 hatched, 1 infertile), which wasn't bad for her first clutch! :)

Here she is (on the left), with the slightly smaller Nerissa in a 41qt tub... just did this photo for a color comparison, they don't live together. ;) She's probably closer to 2000g here, since she's still regaining her egg-weight.

And when she was gravid - not sure of her weight here.

man i just read that story. SEE this is why everyone acts so crazy and they are trying to push these laws on us(the snake owners). The few people that dont watch there animals right are screwing everything up. Maybe one day the news personel will learn to investigate the story before they tell it! freakin tards!
