Lets see your big girls!

I have wondered how big ball pythons can really get. I have had some 5 foot females that were huge but that was the biggest I had seen. Yesterday I aquired the below female from a good friend. He has had her for the last three years. He said that she has laid clutches twice. I have heard that big females don't lay eggs that often. I don't know if that is true or not. I have named this female Pear don't ask why just thought it was cool name. Last night I couldn't put her down I am in love with her. She is 6000 grams my friend told me because my scale won't go up that high. Please post your biggest females I would love to see them and hear if you have had good sucess getting them to lay eggs for you.

Thanks everyone.
Brock

What a beast! Do you know how long she is? I like how her back pattern sort of overlaps itself. :)

And I thought a 3000 gram ball was big!!

Is a 6000 gram one that common? Possibly overfed?

Either way she's a monster.

What was your friend feeding her?

There's also been a few threads like this that have been started. There's this girl in a thread I've seen that was named brannagh (sp). That weighed 3200.

That would be our Brannagh. She actually weighed out last night empty at 3,378. :) This is my most recent picture of her taken in June 2007.

Brock that is a MASSIVE girl! I don't have an that big so I can't say what its production might be like... but my bigger girls are just a reliable for me as any of the others.

Here's one of my biggest. Here's my most recent pic of her... she's around 3500g. Justin

Ohhh nice pic there Justin! Mind if I pass it around to my big females..."look see, this is what you are to do...now hop/slither to it ladies!" :)

That girl looks great on those eggs. My friend was feeding her rats. She is so docile! She weighs a ton when you have her on your neck. FrankyKeno your girl looks huge to. Did you say she weighs 3300grams. I thought that I had some big girls but she really takes the cake.


I think that I might need a new cage for Pear. Anybody have some suggestions on what I should get to keep her in?

Thanks
Brock

Put her in an iris cb 110.

I got 1 from bed bath and beyond for 15 bucks. 6 inches longer, and around 4 or 5 inches wider than a sterilite 41qt.

She's very pretty Brock. My largest is over 3000 grams.

Hi Brock,

I like these racks for the "jumbo" girls ...

http://www.freedombreeder.com/cage.php?cageID=16

Hope this helps.

Yea Adam thats a nice rich mans rack!!

2300.00 buys awhole lot of melamine

Now loan me a million dollars:D

Brock to bad she's not a double het!!

hey brock, how long is she? just for comparison reasons....

Here's my biggest girl :)

What a beast Brock!!


I have seen a few huge ones like that. I saw one that was close to 6,000 grams at Wilbanks place. She was huge.
I have noticed that there seems to be a geographical size in balls. There are some that all come in huge and others that are smaller that never seem to grow that large. Kinda like "Bush babies".


Oh, and J.R., congrats!! :carrot:

Really cool thread.... Brock that girl is huge :eek:

Congrats on the pregnant wife. That really is to cool. I can't wait to have a child!

Adam I didn't think of the Freedom Breeder jumbo rack. Do you know if ARS makes a version of that cage? I will see them this weekend in Tinley maybe I should ask them. Every year I get a new rack and this year I want to try a ARS. I have heard nothing but good things. Thanks for the suggestion though.

To answer the length question I think that she is 5.5 feet. I will have to measure her today. She is a joy to handle and real tame so I am in love with her. I know I am a real snake geek.

Now if anyone can give me any data or what luck they have had breeding these size girls I would appreciate it. Obviously Just is having no problems. That clutch looks great! Brings a smile to my face after a long night at work!

Thanks everyone
Brock

This is our big girl, she is known as Big Mama around here, she was 5,900 grs.a few years ago and just over 6', one of the first imported CH from Ghana in 1992, she produces massive eggs every other year, her biggest clutch was 15 very large eggs in 95 :)

Thanks for the picture I love it! Bud heavy wow. I am having a high life right now. My friend told me that Pear gave him 15 eggs before. She has the size to do it again. From what I am hearing it sounds like big girls like this go every other year or take two years off. Thanks for the data and a great picture.


Brock

No love for my diet coke girl? :confuzd: Afterall, you asked for picture! :)

Robin


I like the diet coke sorry I get to wrapped up in the beer sometimes. I apologize! Your girl looks awesome how old is she?

Brock

Brock,


Don't know her age, she was a pet store surrender this late spring. Awesome girl, she's a chainsaw at feeding time, and an angel at all other times. Hopefully one day she'll be able to "compete" with Pear in the size category! :D

CONGRATS TO YOU GOOD SIR! glad to see she's not wrapped around beer cans! :D

This is my biggest. She was a little over 4000 grams last time I checked. She is not the longest snake, but she is thick. I got 12 good eggs out of her last season.

LOL, he was only about 400g in that pic but he was my best breeder by far last season. He would be locked up with any female with 10 minutes of introduction.
