Nope they grow at their own rate.

There are other snakes that wont reach that size if your just not set on balls

i like them because of hbow nice they are and i here they make reallly good pets so i rather have a a good pet overall then a mean snake becuse i have a milk snake that im trading for a bp

Well males stay way smaller than that. Males only get about half that size

reallllly wow

Like I said earlier haha. If your worried about size get a male. They might grow faster in the beginning, but they stay smaller. Females are usually 3-5 feet and males are usually 2-3. The girls get real meaty!

ok good

Most breeders will trade a healthy female for a male of similar or younger age without a problem. Breeders need snakes in the 3 year age group as generally if they are well fed they are pretty close to a safe breeding wieght. Also you can have 1 male make out with a couple females. In other words if you have two females and one male you can get two clutches of eggs. If you have two males and one female you can only get one clutch of eggs. Same number of snakes to a collector, but it is a huge difference to a breeder! That is why most females sell for more than males.

oooooo.... im just looking for a pet though but thanks makes more sense

Ace you got a tank setup already? If so what do you have?

bark...hide...a plant (plastic)..water bawl...20 gallon..heat mat like 4 inches big and 4 inches prob need a bigger one......where should i put the heat mat

No offense but I think you need to do a bit more research, you don't seem to sure of your decisions.

i know now what i want i was basing my decision on store inventory... what about the heat mat though...should i put it next to the hide..and what size should i use for a 2o gallon

What are you talking about? People on here act like it's as hard as sending a man to mars, it's really not.

does any one have a pic od a full grown male to get back on topic

Here is a picture of my boy at about 7 months.

And here he is at about a year.

He grew like a weed those first few months but he's been fasting for 6 weeks now which slowed his growth down quite a bit. He's about 1200-1300g right now.

ill snake..

I just want to say that I liked the way you ignored the other stuff going on in your thread and got it back on topic.

I noticed earlier in the thread you talked about getting in trouble with your parents, so I assume you are still young. This was very mature, good job! (Possibly getting in trouble with your parents was not so mature, but that's between you and them.)

Some other people could learn from your example.

im 16 if thats young idk... but thanks...i dont have any pics yet because i have not got him yet but ill post pics as soon as i get him...
