biggest ball

[k2mag360]

i was just wondering what the record for the biggest ball python is

[snakehunter]

there are reports of 6 footers in africa, but none backed up by proper documentation

I found this pic on another site a long time ago. I don't anything about the snake or the owner but I think the pic speaks for itself. For all I know owner may be a member here.

If I'm not mistaken, that pic is of Jared Horenstein holding his big female.

I cut the head off the pic but the guy looks just like a you would picture Lurch in his younger years.

My biggest ball *not meant in any obscene way* was about 6.2 feet. I believe the record is nearly seven feet,WOW!

[Linds]

Yup, mykee is correct, that's Jared Horenstein's big girl :) There are people that claim to have seen them reach lengths of nearly 8', again nothing to back it up however. The Barker's say the largest ball they had seen measured a little over 6'. My male ball was produced by Mike Perry's big girl, who I believe weighed in around 12 lbs? Not sure on the length but she's definitely huge.

I can verify a ball python that is 7 feet and reportably 16 lbs.

Is this animal your Corey?? Any pictures of it with something for size comparison? This would be quite interesting to see!

Thanks,

I agree! That would be awesome to see a 7footer!! Well what am I saying i get excited when i see 5 footers at shows! lol

I have no idea what the biggest is, but agree with you guys that I would love to see Corey's, and ya never know mine could be the next one to get that big. LOL

[BoidKeeper]

He never said it was his, just that he could verify reports of a 7' ball. Next thing people will be saying Corey is producing monster balls.

I don't have a 7 foot ball in my collection. But I do know people who have seen one that is a reliable source.

The largest balls I have here are 5.5 feet and about 4000g's (approx 9lbs).
