    Re: size

    I've heard of some approaching 6 feet in length. Generally it's 3-5, though.

    Re: size

    They vary in body structure just like people do. I have 3 adult males, and this is where they were at as of Saturday on empty:

    Spoon - 8 years old - 1824g - approx. 4'3" long

    Diego - 3 years old - 2267g - approx. 4' long

    Java - 11 years old - 2489g - approx. 4'10" long
    Animals are my passion and my life.

    Never, ever underestimate the vital importance of strict and proper quarantine. There is no such thing as being too careful. One mistake can cost a world of damage, and regret that lasts a lifetime.

    Re: size

    althoug i have no first hand experience witht his i have read in various sources that males generally tend to stay around 4 feet. there have been instances of 5 feet but it is a rarity.

    females tend to get larger up to around 5 feet and in some instances 6 feet (again a rarity)

    """""this is just stuff i have read on various internet sites and in snake keeping booksand while i do feel that i have the correct information there are those on the site who would have better firsthand knowledge of this""""""""
