    Who on this forum has the BIGGEST??
    I figured I'd make this a "contest". Whoever thinks he/she has the biggest, post the name of the snake, gender(most likely female) and his/her weight. When it's finally narrowed down, I'll want pictures of the animal on a scale as proof. Oh, and the snake must be owned by you. Good luck! Let's see some bigguns!!

    My big girl, Tiamat, weighs 3561 grams RIGHT NOW, and she just laid 10 eggs (mostly slugs, and bad, but last year she gave us 13 fertile).

    She weighed 4314 with the clutch in her.

    I know she's already lost, but I'll brag about my big girl... Mona was 1703g last week, before getting a good meal in her. :)

    And wow - I'm astounded by that last weight! 3561g??? I didn't even know they could get that big!

    Re: Who on this forum has the BIGGEST??
    She is one massive snake--a real sweetheart, too. She's the only breeder female I have who's on a 14 day feeding schedule, since she had the bum clutch and didn't lose as much weight as expected, lol. I don't actually need her to regain weight before autumn! (She weighed 4150 before she laid her good clutch of 13 last year, and 4315 before this one, so she is holding steady in her current weight range, and I actually want to slim her slightly by a hundred grams before next season. She'll eat anything you offer, needless to say!)

    She's a long snake as well as heavy, over 5 feet in length, though she doesn't quite make it to 6. She's also the only ball python we have capable of eating a retired male breeder rat. (only small rats or hoppers for her probably this year, poor girl, lol).

    WingedWolf, that is a lovely story on Tiamat. And Brock, it looks like Pear tips the scales!!! Wow!! I wonder if anyone's got a bigger.... My biggest is Hermione,just around 3000g, and my 2nd biggest is Hemlock, around 2780g. I'm proud of them both, because they were rescues I decided to keep. :D: :love:

    I love the paintings as well. Makes me want to try to paint, lol.

    I'm loving the pics of all of the monster balls. My biggest is just shy of 900g, so they're all tiny compared to those, especially Pear!

    This is my beautiful Hannah who is out on a breeder loan, so I can't take current pictures of her - but she errored out my scale which reads to 3000 grams. Her first clutch was 11 eggs.

    She was a big girl that an owner dropped off at my local pet store and I nabbed her two days after she'd been dropped off.

    http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...annahJuly5.jpg

    this is her next to a small kitty litter pan for ahide:

    And a pretty picture of her glowing - she's the mom to my spiders:

    Brannagh (her name means dark beauty) is our biggest female. She normally sits around the 3,300 gram weight range give or take. I've no idea her exact length but I'm 5'1" and I'd say she's about as long as I am tall.

    Re: Who on this forum has the BIGGEST??
    I know I ain't gonna win, but my big girl is generally around 3300 grams (give or take). Back this past summer she got up to 3500 at one point, but I didn't photograph her on the scale then. ;)

    In this pic she was right at 3100 grams:
    http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...loesWeight.jpg

    I am 5 foot 4 inches:
    http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...loesLength.jpg

    She's a female, and I'm guessing she is around 9-10 years old. Her name is Chloe. I didn't breed her this past season (wanted to give her a year off), but season before last she gave me 9 healthy eggs.
