I'm pretty sure that would be a new record.
Cases of 5 ft are rare.

Its prolly not goin to happen but it would be really cool if it did :D

i remember somebody posted a pic of a REALLY big ball python here once.

I remember that picture too, and I still think its a fake.
For example, I can take an adult BP and put it next to a baby BP ... and claim that the baby is actually an adult ... and that the other BP is just gigantic.

:shock: Snake .. RUN :sprint: ! LOL

A sheriff's deputy with experience handling snakes was dispatched to the scene and corralled the ball python, an African snake that can grow up to six feet in length.

It doesn't actually say that the snake was 6 feet. Six feet is possible ... but extremely rare.

has it ever happened? i doubt it.

ahhhh, good point blink, i never thought about that before.

I'm just glad that the snake was okay and returned to its owner, who will hopefully keep a closer eye on it from now on.

no 5ft. isn't rare. I know 4-5 people with 5ft.8-11inch male BPS and 6ft. females.....so yea they can get 6ft. and 5ft. is common. Ye glad to hear bout the snake...btu I can't beleive somehting like that made the news....lol I would of just kept it! lol....prob not...

yeah and tuataras just became legal to own in ny. i have one lol. just messing with ya. if this is so well godd for ya friends but they might just wanna try to measure their snakes again :wink:

Shhhh, maybe they're using a "magic tape measure". ;)

Scary...
Though my neighbor was taking out his trash and he suddenly noticed a 7ft Albino Burmese Python by his foot. We live in the country... I thought I was the only weirdo with snakes. I guess not.

Is it bad that upon seeing a snake like that, I'd immediately start planning where I'd put the cage? ;)

yea me too lol....but I mean if I saw a sign or something that said "missing snake" and I had it I would give it back. Otherwise...finders keepers! lol

I don't know if I'd be able to give back an Albino Ball Python.
Its like finding two thousand dollars.

At least they called someone who could handle it appropriately instead of killing the poor snake, and the owner got it back. I'd say that's a good result all around.

So true! Maybe he/she will keep a better 'lid' on things now that the snakie is back...

I know i would!

I've read about wild-caught BP's being reported at 6 foot, but then again, I don't know if that from an accurate measurement of a live snake, a "guesstimate" of the length of a live snake, or the highly inaccurate method of measuring the skin removed from a dead snake. A book I have on the "giant" species of snakes (retics, anacondas, burmese, etc.) talked extensively about that problem. It's rare that even "experts" can accurately estimate the size of a live snake, and even taking extreme care to not stretch the skin as it is being removed from a dead snake, the length can stretch by 25% or more.

If they're not careful to avoid stretching the skin, or actually intend to stretch it, it's been documented that the snake's skin can be stretched by 50% or more, as I recall from the book. I'll have to dig it up and post the quote from that section.

its not funny........they have 5 1/2 foot snakes.....no lying.....you wanna see a picture? Because I can get one!

i wanna see it, just to see it

im not saying that i dont believe you

but im also not saying that i totally believe you

i just wanna see, lol

ok sorry the snake I have a picture of is 4'11 not 5'11 I wrote 5 on accedent. But I do know people who have snakes that size. But I have the picture of a 4'11 male. I have to ask permission to post the picture first though.
