There is no way that a sonoran or a nicaraguan can attain length of 8 foot even if they are 6 or seven years old.

I know that average lengths are just that, but out of the thirty or so Nics I have I dont see it....

If they are that long and as old as you claim they are, how can you be sure what they are? Too many variables to just throwing names on snakes without any background or history, or at the very least limited amount of background that may or may not be true.

Not a cheap shot at you Joe, as you have some awesome things going on and probably several potential litters that could make me a customer of yours this year. But, be careful as those that are into Nicaraguans, Sonorans etc tend to be very picky on the history and background of their stock and saying you have a 8 or 9 foot nicaraguan makes me wonder.....

If you have information on that huge "nicaraguan" that can be verified I will offer my apology to you right now.

Good luck with those awesome breedings you posted earlier...
