The question is how small is that guy? The snake is no more then 5' but neither is he I'd say. It looks gravid though look at the stomach near the guys arm pit. I love the pattern on it very classic ball.
Cheers,
Trevor

I seem to remember a recent thread here discussing this photograph. Anyway, my vote says that's a recent meal in its stomach; that five feet sounds right; and that the guy has a serious grip on the poor critter's neck.
There's a photo of a ball python posted on the OTHER forum today that the owner claims is six feet and over 15 pounds. Check it out.

LOL. I can't you see, she fluctuates in size and weight SO much, that if the 'Official Guinness Weigher Guy" comes on the wrong day, she'll only look to be a mere shadow of her former self.
P.S. Gotta be quicker Tim.

Ok, ok... my new guess is....
48 1/2' and 975lbs
It's closest without going over, right? 
Jk
That is a beautiful bp though. I love the kind of white wash going up the sides.  I'd say close to 5 feet, but who knows???

Lets put it this way Ash i'd rather get bit from a full grown bci then a full grown bp. Heck I'd take the full grown bci over a 2' bp even LOL. Thats talkin' from the fact that i have a bci and a bp and the bp hurts more than the bci.

I've never been bit by an adult BP but upon inspection, the teeth aren't any bigger than 1/16 of an inch. That'll most likely break skin, but you won't loose a limb over it...
