[jwsporty]

Well here is one of the new babies I picked up at the show. Approx 3', very friendly, male and he has already taken down his first rat for me. Pics of the female to follow when I get a chance.

NICE!!!
We have a male Tai, he's 2 now, awesome temperment, eats great, and he is the same color as yours, but "Teko" is now 5ft, 10 inches! Be ready my friend, they grow like weeds!!!
Right after we bought this snake, we read a post where one gal was using a Turkey roasting pan for a water dish... my girlfriend got a look at two HUGE Taiwans at a reptile show, (12 ft.),
and said, "I said I wanted a big snake, but this is scary!"
But all turned out well and good, she loves to hold him, he is in a 85 gallon tank right now, but we are already looking for a BIGGER, TALLER cage for him next year :)

I recently aquired a male that's about 5 years old and is just under 7 feet (I think he was underfed) and a yearling (13 months old) that is now at 4'5". They really do grow incredibly fast... and I can't believe how tame they are (although, they are FAAAAAAST and a big one can be a real handfull). Lots and lots of fun !!!

<laugh> Taiwans don't get 12ft. The largest known beauty I think was a caver almost hitting 10ft.

Sorry, this is Katt posting.

[ChokeOnSmoke]

How big do they grow on average?

[Classic]

Simply amazing Jim. You are a snake buying machine.

[The DOC]

To Katt....
Sorry, there was a photograph of a Taiwan, that was 12 feet long being held by a 6 foot tall owner, on the KS Ratsnake forum, last summer. The snake was measured and documented.

[gonesnakee]

No disrespect DOC but I would have to see it to beleive it. IE:12ft Beauty Snake. I'm with Katt on this one. Anyone know a link to this supposed Monster LOL Mark

[Katt]

I agree, I want to see a big of this 12footer!

Beauties can be deceiving. I had pegged my bigger blue pair at six feet, only to find yesterday they are both over seven!
