I just saw an ad for one 4 foot long! I did not think they got that big? Any thoughts?

that ain't amaura......there maybe a 4'er out there.....somewhere.....over the FREAKING rainbow.....or if someone migrates some of jeff's MONSTER milk genes into some.....

Ha ha that's funny! I grew up in New Orleans and I'll admit I didn't see very many there, but all the ones I did see were small like Scarlet kings. That thing doesn't even look like one in appearance either.

Yeah,...at the rate people seem to be throwing together just any two snake's they happen to have handy, Jeff's "MONSTER" milks will be in amaura, Hondo's, Pueblan's, and other stuff before ya know it.

This is just how the ugly hobby "wheel" turns. It absolutely sickens me how often I see this now!

I can see it now....."MONSTER ISLAND corndurans"??

A long time back I had one from Newton County, Texas that was 33". At that time we thought that was the record. Went to San Diego Zoo,

I have heard the amaura in TX are actually a bit larger than the LA specimens and more inclined to rodents. Most adults here seem to be in the two to two and half foot range at best.
