>>The record size for a wild caught breitensteini is about 6' 10" and with a weight around 50 pounds. As Rich pointed out however, it is extremely rare for a captive borneo to break the 6 foot mark, male or female. The old "curtus" group (brongersmai, breitensteini, curtus) have probably the least degree of sexual dimorphism of any python taxa. Adult females of all three species average only a few inches longer than an average adult male of that species.

Where did you see that? Were there pictures? The length looks about right, but 50 lbs at that length would be horribly obese for a borneo. Yikes!
