Hi. This may be a silly question but I thought someone here might know.


I was wondering how common it is for a male ball python to exceed 4 feet in length. I have a female that it right about 4′ (49″) and I consider that to be pretty normal for an older female. But my male measures 55″ (his age is unknown but he was 46″ when I got him in 2005) and is by far the largest ball python I have ever seen in terms of both length and size.

I guess since I keep reading that males are generally in the 3.5′ range, I was just curious how often you come across a male this large.

That’s all.
