What if BP's were a bigger species? Would u keep them?

@Zincubous - AWESOME Dwarf Burm! It must be so great having such a cool species in a smaller package like that!

Yep , he's only matched by my Super Dwarf Purple Albino Retic

Another crazy tame and placid snake in a tiny little package - he has all the normal Retic traits though ..

I am sooo jealous! I am really wanting to get into Super Dwarf Retics at some point! Is yours full grown? How big is he?

Beautiful big girl, Hannah! Is she a Lesser? My Lesser girl only weighs about 1,805 grams right now after being on hunger strike for about a month...

Yep she's a big, cranky lesser.

LOL! My Lesser girl can be a little hissy, too sometimes. She is sweet most of the time, but she can be a little moody. Typical female... lol

No he's about 24" - at 12 months ... Hoping he stays under 5' rather like his dad ( mum was only 7') .

Holy crap! A 4,000 gram Ball? I've never seen one that large. Can you share some pics of him with us?

My vote is for double in size. I think a Ball Python that would reach the size of an adult female BCI would be awesome! I don't know how a lot of you feel about hybrids, but personally, I look forward to making some Super Balls in the future. How could a big fat Blood with the cool colors and patterns of a Ball not be awesome?

Great poll!

Take into consideration that I am 6'4" and have hands like bear paws. Fully stretched out she goes past my knees tho she may only be just over 5 feet looking at her

Thanks for sharing! She is definitely a big pretty girl! How old is she?

I'm glad they are the size they are. I had a supposedly male BCI who just kept growing. He was over 9 feet when I sold him. Might have been a female or not a true BCI. But he was a very docile snake and it was still too much. Someday I will get a true BCI but I'll get a male from a trusted breeder that can give me a better idea on size. 9 feet is just too much for me. I have a female Dumerils right now. She will be large but manageable in a 4x2 cage.

Yeah I would, they seem to grow calmer with age.

Girl in this pic is >6' long and a gentle giant. She actually eats better in her rack but we put her in 40 gallon tank from time to time. For reference that tank is 3' long x 1.5' wide and much of her is still under the right hide. (pic looks better @ gallery, here it looks distorted)
