How big is this Ball python

I've got to disagree on that, although I only bothered to look inside one ball python's mouth tonight. Check out the length of the teeth in the very front of the lower jaw. I was careful not to include the jawbone and I measured straight-line (not along the tooth curve). I came up with around 6 mm (close to 1/4 inch). Not too shabby. Nevertheless, even though I'm a big sissy, I would agree that a bite from an adult ball python is no big deal at all.
