Ok to start.

Ball pythons never stop growing. There rate of growth slows down over the years though. As far has how much a fully grown BP weigh, it is impossible to say. Males that are sexually mature can be anywhere from 600 grams to over 3000 grams. Females are generally larger. They are sexually mature from 1200 grams to over 5000 grams. You average female that is 4 years old could weigh in at 2000-3000 grams. Your average male at 4 years could weigh in at 1000-2000 grams. Hope that helped, but BP's never stop growing and will constantly get bigger if you feed them properly.

Thanks! Just what I wanted to know. Other than pictures I've never seen a python that is adult. So I was just curious. Thanks again!
