Big Red is now pushing 72" and he wants everyone to know that he's a better choice than some bovine for product rep...

He's such a good sport and a lot of fun to have around...

Aww...he's a cutie!
How old is he? My 09 bull Alfonzo is 36 inches long now. He has the greatest temperament. The other day I had some left over live pinks that some others had not eaten, so I hand fed them to him. He daintily plucked each one from my fingers. He comes out of his hide and watches me.
BULLS RULE!

Pyro,

He will be two years old this July (apparently has "monster" gene)

Alfonzo last August in his water bowl on a hot day.
They grow so fast it is almost like watching time lapse video!

Yes they do! Here's an early photo of "not so Big Red" right after I got him in fall, 2008. He was just at 20" then...

Lookin' great! Wouldn't it be cool if "Red Bull" saw this post and signed "Big Red" for there poster boy!

btw, has he ever gone off feed?

He was brumated for all of December, January and the first week of February. When I brought him back up he waited another two weeks before he "accepted" any food but now he's off to the races for 2010. Two to three small rats every 10-14 days...

Wow! My 08 Bull is about 50" he will be 2 in July also. He eats 3 Rat Pups every 5-7 days. Very Nice Red Bull!

Thanks Jepsie!

Let's see how big these guys get by their second birthdays. Big Red is the largest, most heavy bodied Pituophis that I've ever had. All of my others are gophers which are smaller and more slender built than he. I do have a young Sonoran (Arizona Bullsnake) that may top six feet someday. Post some pics of yours...
