I have heard all kind of theories concerning predicting an snakes size as an adult when it is a hatchling.....scale counts, egg weights, parent size, etc. etc....None that I know of have ever been PROVEN to be 100% accurate. Sure they might be right here and there, but it seems like alot is just people linking random similarities to size.

IMHO....As a responsible reptile owner, you should never purchase an animal that you can not handle, house, or feed at its MAXIMUM potential size....no matter how slim the chance that it will ever reach that potential.

Ever look into Dwarf burms....or albino ball pythons
