Is Hannibal a MONSTER?

[T.O-SK8TER]

This is my baby burm that I have had for one month! Hannibal is almost a month and a half old and already 2 feet 7 inches. He was born at 18 inches and when I got him he was 21 inches. He shedded today and the last time he shedded was 3 weeks ago. I have been measuring him every few days and notice an inch or two of length growth everytime. He is eating one f/t rat pup every 5 days (I believe is regular feeding). I am looking forward to a 15 footer but is this going to become a huge 20 foot snake?

I got a male for a reason!!!!!!

I doubt he will get that large 20 ft. is pretty big for a male they average around 12 to 16 ft. Remember that burms grow something like %200 in thier first year.

The burms now are smaller then the burms earlier mostly because of inbreeding now they get around 13 t 17 f.

mine is 10 months old i think and when i had him 6 months ago he was 2 foot 2 and he is now 6 foot 4 and weighs about 8 pounds and is eating 2 large rats every 7 days

I agree with Colonel SB it won't get 20ft + maybe if it was Female even then it would be slim chance. But you have a nice looking little Burm there here is one of my Burm's She is 2 year's old in the pic and at 14ft long

Please enlighten us all on how inbreeding has decreased the size of Burmese Pythons in captivity.

i think that it could be a 20 ft. + snake

my burm to date is exacly 3 feet 4 inches. He has grown 9 inches since I made this post is everyone sure it is normal for a burm to grow 9 inches a month?
