i dont beleive they get to 30 feet or 49 feet i thought the were only 12 feet at the most and i am now confused and i heard that they are nasty snakes and should not even be considered as a pet.
the reason i am doing this is because someone said to get one :hammer:

They grow to 14' and longer, and are typically very aggressive !!


I would love to get one myself, but I'm a little hesitant.

You are 11. Stick with much smaller snakes.

HE WAS JOKING!!!!!! i know what post you are talking about and he was being sarcastic. do not get one!!!!

to answer your question, i believe it is like 10-12 ft for males and 15ft+ for females and they are usually called aggressive though i myself do not believe they would be if you got a cb baby.

My experience with afrocks has been very positive. I find them to be very much like burms in the temperment, but active like retics. They get quite large, with females ranging up 22ft, with incredible girth. They are one of the largest snakes in the world. I love the pair I have.

yea if you are thinking of getting one and you are only 11 I would consider something smaller :medcomcic
Rock pythons are really pretty snakes though
