I have a small ball python that I got like around last month. Well he is about 5 months and is doing great. I just wanted to get an idea of how big these guys get. Well If you know please post how big yours is.

P.S. If you got pics post.
Thanks

Well I have a 3ft male bp that is in a 40 gal breeder tank. He will probably fit comfortably in there the rest of his life. But he will probably end up getting to be about 4 ft, he is still growing and getting longer and fatter. The females get bigger. I would say 5 ft.....But I'm no expert, that is only what I've heard other people say. I have a female now, but she is only a baby, at about 22 inches.....Good Luck, Get the Ball Python Manual. Great little book.

I know this is kind a off topic, but does sterlite have a website. I can't find one!!!!

Marvin, 4.5' male BP... think he was on month 6 of his fast there so not quite as chunky as usual.

Yeah, Anoushka is full grown and she's just over 3 feet, probably 3.5 feet.

;) Linds seems to forget to tell people that she is not the best model to show the size of an adult ball python...she is a tiny girl and therfore the snake may look bigger (with her) than it acctually is.

p.s. sorry Linds, I always think it's funny when I see this picture of you with Marvin.
