I have a male over 4 foot now, so dont count on that! And females can get up to 6 foot on the large side of the fence. Please read our caresheet: http://ball-pythons.net/modules.php?...warticle&id=52


Either way though, bp's are not hard to handle and are very wonderful snakes. However, they can be funny eaters at times, and it is the only down fall to the species itself that I can find. As far as shedding, give it a good soak in a tub of warm water, stuck shed comes off easily that way usually.
