I've seen Burms get anywhere from 10 feet to 16 feet myslef. I know that there is bigger out there though

Males tend not to get too big. If it really is a male, he'll likely get anywhere from 8 to 12 feet. Occasionally, even a male will get up around 16' though, so I wouldn't get a burm if that kind of size is something you cant deal with.

My female is close to 10 feet now at 1 1/2 years old, and still growing. My male is a year and 7 feet, but he has started to slow down.

im not flaming at you or anything but "how big can he get?" is not a question you should be asking when he is already 6 feet long. he "can" get up to 16' but chances are he will stay between 10-13'. i just hope you are prepared for such a large snake in the long run.

Looks amazing.
Burms have no problem growing. A female i used to have was 21 feet at 5 years old. Males get shorter on average...

I know he will get bigger, the question I have is: are female burmese always bigger?

you are one to talk every other post i have read from you is you being shot down by everyone because you want huge snakes and your are still an ankle biter

i knew one that was 19ft and 22yrs old

I made a choice to have a huge snake after making sure that I had the capacity to take care of my Burmese correctly and not just on a whim. This site as far as I thought was for questions and information in taking pride in peoples snakes and such. I give all my pets the best of everything and I allways try to learn about ways to make their live better.

HEY, GUESS WHAT? I ALREADY HAVE A BURMESE PYTON!

pxtyson: im trying to find out how big each of the snakes that i would like to keep is going to get so that when i do eventually get it i will be prepared. cristine on the other hand already has this burm and its six feet long. i just felt that she shouldnt be asking this question after she got the snake. i was just making sure she knew how large her burm may get.
