How large do Bloods get?

[clizardb]

I am thinking of adding some more variety to my collection and was wondering the average size of adult Blood Pythons?

Here's a link to the blood python caresheet. It looks like 3-5' for males and 4-6' for females and a max size of 10'.

Everytime I read the max size of a blood is 10'.....I wish someone would post a pick of them holding a 10' blood.....I just can't picture them getting that big

I've seen bloods in the six foot range but never anything larger. A ten foot Blood , that would be pretty scary!

10' is next to unheard-of. Most bloods (brongersmai) in captivity max out around 6' or so.

but not unheard-of??
