lets see some LARGER ball pythons..

all the pics i ever see are of like 3ft or smaller ball's... i wanna see some 5ft+ ones and what they look like as adults at full size

so lets see some :)

This is our biggest female - Brannagh - just over 3,200 grams and somewhere around 4.5 to 5 feet long (she's a pure bugger to try to measure)....

Our second biggest girl - Orlah - about 2,500 grams or thereabouts and I'm not sure on her length - less than Brannagh - maybe 4 feet....

hi Jo hows Brannagh and Orlah doing they look good hows Brannagh doing with handleing

Thanks Gene. They are both doing beautifully! Brannagh's just wonderful with handling these days though she did put a scare into me yesterday. She's very fixated on eating right now and I forget to wash rodent smell off my hands when I went to check her water dish. Holy wow but it's a bit intimidating to have that many feet of thick ball python whip around and track you intently. Needless to say I topped up her water and got the heck out fast LOL. My fault totally though, I completely forgot about washing up after I fed and watered the rat colony. Took me getting tense reactions from Brannagh and two other large females before the light bulb went off and I was like...."oh for goodness sakes, I was asking to get bit!" LOL

Posted this pics several times before. Its of Alyssa at Holloween with her snake Tuleo. He's a big boy ....

This is my biggest girl. Actual weight, I'm not sure, but I swear that everytime I look at her she looks like she's gotten even bigger. She errors out my scale that only weighs to 3000 grams.

Out of curiousity, about how long does it take for a Ball python to get to 4+ feet?

Here's our biggest girl. She's not a breeder, just a pet. She's around 4000 grams and about 5 feet long.

Too long ;)
Just kidding; enjoy them when they are little. It goes too fast, like kids growing up.
I have an '04 girl who is at 4-odd feet now. This was her first year breeding, but she was heavy enough for her size.

Where's Adam and pictures of his fat-bottomed girls? =)

I have a big snake! (it's just...not a ball, hehe). Speaking of which, have you guys ever seen that Kingsnake t-shirt "My snake is bigger than yours." ? =)

My girl is around three and a half feet now, so not *huge*, but getting there! I need to find a scale somewhere and weigh her, I'm really curious. She's fat and heavy and she doesn't know it, she still thinks she's a limber little snake that can climb all over my desk without causing damage :rolleyes:

I was thinking the same thing when I posted that pic! :carrot: I'm really trying to cut back. I used to drink one every morning to get my caffeine hit, now I try to limit myself to 1 or 2 a week. Part is becasue I learned I'm a type 2 diabetic and the other reason is I was worried with the caffeine withdrawal symtoms I would get when I didn't have my "fix" by 10 or so each morning. I hate being so dependent on something. :(
