Albigularis keepers.
I'm interested in the SVL's, and total lengths, of large albigularis. (5+ feet) It'd be nice to know the sex if possible.
I just received a new male Whitethroat, which is rather large. His SVL is 32", Total about 65-66" (5'5"-6" Missing a bit of tail. He's a little fat, somewhere around 35lbs.
I have a female only 4.5' or so, but I haven't measured her in months, last time I did check she was 24" SVL, and 48" total.

Thanks,
Chad

A good friends WT Blaize is almost equal STV and tail length (I remember Mark Bayless mentioning that males have a shorter tail length in comparison to females, ie longer STV), he is 33 inches STV and 66 inches overall (5 ft 6 inches). Blaize had lost a tiny amount of tail when he was younger (no clue exactly how much it was).
Sobek is completely intact physically (externally, other than a claw she is regrowing). She seems to demonstrate that female albigs have a shorter STV compared to tail length, along with others Ive looked at. I just measured Sobek, she is 35 inches STV, and a 45 inch tail (80 inches now overall, 6ft 8 inches).
I had a female in the past that was similar in body to tail ratio, she was 24 inches SVT, 32 inches of tail, 56 inches overall (no tail missing either).

I'll have to try to measure her today. i am actually curious to see how much she has grown since she has moved outside.

The last measurement I got on "Black" was 6'11 tip to tip in length and a weight of 49lbs. He just turned 4 years old. I have not done a SVL measurement yet. Hope this helps.
