Here's my big male ball Marvin. He'll be 2 years old in May and is 4.5+ feet in length. He has been fasting for 5 months so he's a little thin looking in the pic...

Totally likely. My big male was around 4' at that age  He was not powerfed, fed once a week until about 10 months of age where he became finicky. He eats when he wants to (usually every 2-4 weeks), but has been fasting for the past 5 months  He came from Mike Perry's huge girl... I think she weighed in at close to 12 lbs... I can't remember...

honduranfreek, i agree that is not nearly 12 pounds. Linds thanks for showing everyone that it is possible, and it does happen. im not sure if mine is male or female though. it has a long tail that shrinks at the beginning of the vent. all that leads me to think its female, but at the end it has a very blunt tip. its pretty confusing, it may be male. good news pics will be here soon so maybe you guys can help. linds, nice ball python!
TAKE THAT SNAKEMANN87!!!

I heard[i dont know if its true]when you keep a snake in a small cage it never exeeds the siz of the cage. Theres proof on both sides because i always see big retics and burms geting so big they break and get out of there cages but i seen people have balls that are in a 10 gallon and never get big enogh to do the same.

A Ball kept in a small cage who stays small...that's called abuse and neglect. Whatever size the animal's genes tell it to grow to is what it will grow to. If you stick a baby human in a dog kennel for life, will it stay that size? *growling*
I HATE HATE HATE to hear people say this. There is NO TRUTH to it, and it only encourages people to buy animals that will get bigger than thay can handle, and keep them cramped in little cages for their own convenience, with no concern for the welfare of the animal! BPs get big, Monitors get bigger, Iggies get bigger that that, and Burms get even bigger than Igs. If you can't house them properly, DON'T BUY THEM!! It makes me SICK to think that people would do something as STUPID as keeping a Ball in a 10 gallon tank for life!! I love my girls and I would never TORTURE them that way!! Anyone who does that should be stuffed into a cardboard box and made to stay that way forever!!!
*pant, pant*
Ok, rant over. Breathing now...

Killaclown: All snakes are different sizes from eachother at different ages just like humans. Its best to feed your snake prey that is the same size as the largest part of your snakes girth  However, most ball pythons hatch out at the size to take hopper or adult mice so you are most likely feeding it a good size
