    Re: Normals the biggest?

    Because snakes never stop growing, they slow down greatly, but really never stop.

    People have had normals much longer than they've had many of these new morphs available today....

    Therefore, your more likely to see a huge older normal than a huge pastel or spider etc etc

    Re: Normals the biggest?

    Cause normals tend to be older and it is usually the older 5, 6, 7 year old females that are 2500-3500 grams. The really huge ones over 4000 grams are fat and probably 10-15 years old. Most morphs we know of that are readily available aren't that old and haven't gotten the weight on. Also no breeder will get rid of a 2500-3000 gram female breeder morph, can you say 8-10 eggs?

    Re: Normals the biggest?

    Also, do they get duller and duller (their colors) when they get bigger and age more or do they stop somewhere?

    Re: Normals the biggest?

    Somewhere on here, someone posted a picture of a HUGE bumblebee female who has to be in the 2 - 3000 gram range and she's breathtaking.

    I think it depends on the individual snake.
