Angolans average 4-6 feet some up to 7 - females tend to be a bit bigger than males (like balls). He is pretty easy to keep needs a bigger cage obviously - but overall a very similar enviroment to a ball - I beleive they are close cousins. He does prefer to be able to perch on ledges, rocks and such more than balls do - I find him on top of his hide more often than inside of it - their natural environment is rocky cliffs as opposed to flat grasslands so that probably has something to do with it.
Overall he's got a great "puppy-dog" like temperament and is quite a bit more active than a ball. A great snake if you've got little boys that like a snake that will play with them instead of curl up into a ball.
And he's got that wicked pebbled skin that just feels great!!!
