Hello - Is my Ball Python too small?
Hey everyone, i got my Ball Python as a hatchling in December 2009, i've always thought it was a little on the small side, but i measured it today and realised it's only 27 inches. Is this normal for a Ball Python of this age?
Thanks, Dan.
(Sorry if this is in the wrong place, new to the whole forum thing)

Re: Hello - Is my Ball Python too small?
Uhhh i would say no but i dont have too much experience,
Im pretty sure just over two feet would be normal for a bp that old then again i know someone with more experience will be along

Re: Hello - Is my Ball Python too small?
welcome to the forum , what are you feeding your guy and how often , how often does he shed and what is his general husbandry like? This is more important than his size really , although this seems small to me.

Do you have a photo? I would think as long as he is eating fine he should be ok.

IT not how big they are but what you do with them that matters!

"Do with them"? They do tricks? Do you dress them up, put little sombreros on them and swing them around at parades?
