THX guys! Todd the bigger 2 are around 6 ft ish or so, the female being the largest. The one male is just tiny compared to her but that didn't slow him down any breeding wise. The older pair are pretty typical size for adult "carpets". Mark

Haha they can get pretty big too (though i suspect it's more of a rarity). I recall back several years ago on kingsnake.com someone had a pic of a female somewhere over 10 feet long. At the time most of the literature listed max size as 12' but very unlikely to see. That was the main reason i chose not to pursue them.

It seems to have changed a bit but here: Wildlife of Sydney - Fact File - Diamond Python lists them as reaching 6.5 - 10 feet roughly.

Encyclopedia Britannica says 13' !! lol never heard of one getting that big
