    My two biggest females are over 3000 grams.

    One is just a standard ball python, best guess she's around 5' +.

    One is a newly acquired import female who is one of the elusive Ghana Giants. She laid a clutch of eleven eggs for me, unfortunately I'm not very experienced and none of the eggs ever hatched.

    After she laid, she was right around 2800 grams.

    Here's a not so good photo of Nergal when we first got him (about a month after we had got him, actually, back in August or so)

    Here he is next to a can of soda when we first got him

    And my hand:

    Here's another not so good picture from a month ago, he is next to a box of toothpaste.

    The giant ball pythons are called sub Saharan giants. They get the largest, lay the largest clutches, and have huge heads. They are from a different locale than the Ghana BPs. I almost bought one of these offspring last year...

    My goodness, you're right--they do have bigger heads
    Don't think my Nergal is one of those but jeez he is getting big fast.
    Not upset, just wondering why my others can't do this also. lol
    they'll get there, I know.

    Re: Giant ball python?

    I'm on the list to buy a female from Brian Gundy's 5000 gram female's clutch.

    They're genetic and he had a female at 8 months of age weigh in at 1100 grams.

    I want that blood in my babies. Imagine throwing a triple morph male to her? 14-20 eggs...
    Oh man.

    Re: Giant ball python?

    My largest girl was 5200 before she went off feed. Two other girls were around 4300 these 3 were imports. A few other girls are all around 2600- 3500 and two virgins this year were around 1500.

    I do have a question though and if anyone has pics that is great. In my experience and from what I have seen it is mostly normal girls tipping the scales.??? Maybe I just have not seen any but some big pastel girls past the 4000 range would be nice to see maybe an albino girl up there. Just curiosity kicking as I have never really seen any morph girls breaking 5000 but would like too......

    I would be surprised if this albino didn't hit that 4000 gram mark next season, just weighed her and she's sitting at 3300 grams with 8 or 9 eggs in her.
    I also have a 2300+ gram black pastel female that is 3 years old, she should get huge the way she's growing.
