I had a male ball that was 6'3" (not his shed skin either, actual string down the spine) never weighed him though. Ate 16 jumbo rats per year (white rats only PICKY!!). Off feed from oct-april every year.

I bought him in 1991 at 6ft the previous owner fed him on 6-lined ground squirrels that he trapped in a havahart.

Charlie was his name. He died at age 14 and is soarly missed.
AND YES I probed him male. Was JUST as shocked as you are!!!

He came into the pet store I worked at as a bush baby in june of 1986 Died in 2000 due to a thermostat failure.

REPORTEDLY there were bigger BPs at a zoo one supposedly hit 7ft.

The biggest BP I have seen in recent years has been Marc Bailey's het albino females. Average 12-15egg clutches and pushing softball diameter. Helps to have a rat breeding farm HUH!!!

God Bless, Lee Van Hyfte
