Here's a pic of our nearly 8 foot Irian Jaya named Oprah. She is still on the skinny side as she laid eggs about a month ago and has only had about 5 meals since. She should weigh somewhere around 5000-5500 grams when she's back up to par.
She is quite possibly the largest IJ in the USA. She's the largest I have ever heard of second to Karel Bergmann's female IJ in CAN.
Hope ya like!

[likeal0stchild]

I want to get my jungle on here but parentals wont loosen up on the digi cam.......jeez

has anyone ever bred a coastal 100% with a 100% jungle before? I want to breed my girl but it is hard to find her a jungle around here..........anyone got pics of a jungle X coastal?

An 8' or bigger IJ would have to be a coastal cross, or have SOME coastal bloodlines. I just can't believe they would get to 8' naturally... then again, I've seen plenty of freakshows in the snake world. :)

haha so if i were to breed my jungle with a coastal id turn out with a darker but larger jungle kinna?

[Yasser]

Invictus,
This big female actually was a WC import and she has produced quite typical looking IJs for many years. Size means nothing as a gauge for purity or lineage. Especially when you take into account how a snake is taken care of in captivity compared to being grown in the wild. There will ALWAYS be anomalies in every species. I have seen quite a few pure boid species that showed extremes in size...from Hog Island Boas to Jungles to Scrubs. Just look at Andre' the Giant!

Weinerboy, any measurments of length or weight on that coastal? Is it a male? It's huge!

I used to own a Coastal X Jungle & she just looked like a big ugly jungle as did her siblings. Not a desirable cross IMHO & the babies are worth squat because of it. My 2 cents Mark

This is Citron he is 11 1/2 years old, and 7-7.5 feet long
a large male. An F1 VPI stock and still a looker.
I would love to match him up with Karel or Yasser females.

Awesome snakes Mardy. Are those at your store? How far away is your store from Orleans? I wouldn't mind checking it out, you have so many nice animals. Jaguars, massive carpets, you got it all!
