Her's my 2004 albino female and some neighborhood buddies.


I know, she's not a giant. LOL

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......

ive been in a similar convo before and was told that normals have been around the longest and morphs are newer but they will gradually get up to size eventually these words are not mine but i fully trust the person who told me as i can completely understand this

Don't know what I was thinking--we've had Nergs for 10 months, he was 6 months when we got him, so he's 16 months or a year and four months old now lol

2000 gms are very normal for older adult females without ever being "pushed" in their feeding. My largest is over 5000 gms and is 10 yrs old. Another is 7 years old and was over 3600 gms before laying. I have another dozen or so over the 2000 gm mark and these are 3 1/2 year olds.

The true "giant" bps are from a know local and do get huge in both weight and length. This local is also know for producing very large clutches in the double digits.

Id like to see a picture of a 5000+ gram ball python.biggest ive ever seen in person might have been around 2000.i would also like the contact info for this local with "giants" you speak of.lol.is it Brian Gundy?ive read about him having big snakes.but i honestly dont know if i believe your snakes are that big.not calling you a liar,just,skeptical.lol.if they are,your doing something right and i must know your secrets.haha.have a good one.
