How long is she, 5 footish?
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
Mack The Knife, 2013
Lizzy, 2010
Etta, 2013
1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
Esmarelda , 2014
Sundance, 2012
2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017
Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

No idea. I don't think she's too much over 4ft, but she barely ever stretches out and I haven't measured her.
All I know is she's 2X the weight plus of when I got her, she never refuses a meal, and she's doing great! Definitely adding girth too.
Any advice on measuring a BCI?

Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
My Boas as well as the other snakes are always on the move when they are out too. Every now and then they will stretch out in somewhat of a straight line. I just try to make a mental point of where those head and tail points are and try to measure as quick as I can before I forget and also before the snake gets into trouble.
Then sometimes they will stretch out in their cage which makes it fairly easy to guesstimate as well.
The first pic measured out to 8 feet which confirmed my guesstimation of the third pic - with Lizzy stretched out she easily makes it end to end of the 6 foot cage with 2 feet to spare.

That last pic reminds me of my big boy, Punch. The guy who had him before me did not cage him. He was a free ranger, so he never wants to go back in his cage. And whenever I walk into the room he begs to come out. This makes cleaning and changing water a huge challenge, because when that door drops he IS coming out, whether I wish it or not.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
Had Behira out for a bit tonight. She feel asleep on my chest. Katie got some pictures. Below is the best one.
I know she has a long way to go, but she's getting big.
She's so calm and docile. She had a dog hair in her mouth from my shirt. She let me reach up and gently remove it. Then she feel asleep on me for a while. When I woke her and went to put her back, she kept trying to get back out of her tank. She literally rubbed her head and neck up and down the acrylic door of her tank, practically begging to come out again, until I covered it with her drape. She's a character.

Re: Behira - 2016 Female Ivory Ghost - First BCI
My mother used to be petrified of snakes. Literally couldn't even hear the word without freaking out!
When I was ten years old, she became open to the idea of me having a pet snake as she realized a lot of her fear was based in anxiety and past experiences. She got the point where I was able to have a pet snake when I got older (but was still living in her house) and would happily hold and interact with calm snakes.
She likes all my current pet reptiles. Figment, the corn, moves a little fast for her, but she still holds him, even though it makes her a little nervous. Shayna (the BP) and Behira are both super docile and, for the most part, slow moving, so she loves holding them. She doesn't mind the Leopard Geckos, but isn't crazy about Frank the BTS. She says he looks prehistoric and although he doesn't scare her, and she will pet him, she usually doesn't want to hold him.
Anyway, here are some pictures of my mom with Behira from yesterday:
