    Largest Ball Python you own/owned

    I got my first BP over a week ago and he's a baby Normal. I can't wait to see him grow big and I was wondering the largest BP some of you guys have? Any 6 footers?

    No giants here. Just two little babies, who have a long way to go. Not as long as I thought, maybe - these things grow fast!

    Edit - oh, and two more little babies on the way. And two others that I'm seriously thinking about... The snakes may not grow nearly as fast as the number of tubs needed!

    Two young ones here as well! Boy is almost 400 grams, which I'm excited enough about. Currently in blue and being left alone. Girl is a bit smaller but so easy to handle, not head shy at all or mean. But I too have another on the way here pretty soon, super excited for it!

    I am not sure about length wise but my biggest would be my 5 year old female normal at 2938g. My largest male would be my two year old kingpin at 1010g.

    I have never seen a 6ft BP personally. And your male wont get any larger then 4ft at most. Of course BPs never stop growing their entire lives but their growth drastically slows down around 3-5 years of age.

    Her name is Hope. '10 Mojave. The photo is few months old, she was around 4000g at that time. Currently she's 4450g and 5.3 feet (162 cm).

    So females get bigger?

    Edit: generally bigger than males I mean.

    My largest is my 2010 albino girl, Phoebe -- 2795 grams, coming off about a four month fast. 3kg in March. I'd guestimate her length at a little over four and a half feet.

    This photo is terrible, I know. I swear, she isn't a headless snake.
