See posts above. Females are generally bigger that males as adults. P. brongersmai is the largest of the three species, with males growing to about five feet and females to six or so. Some will get considerably bigger. They are hefty snakes though...20-40lbs. Check out Forum and Photo Gallery for pics

As far as them being really bitey, I've had my pair for about 5 months now and they've never bit me, although I did watch the male bite bob clark when he showed him to me. They've tamed down quite nicely though.
