Here are my 2 biggest girls. Old pics and I haven't weighed them lately but the Black Back is pushing 4,000 and the other one that I haven't been able to prove what she is yet, is around 4,500. I love 'em both.

the one you havnt proved out yet i would breed to something in the mojave complex or the yellow belly complex.

Looks a bit like my 4,000 gram chocolate. I also thought mine looked to be in the Mojave/Lesser complex so worked out a breeding loan with Marshall Van Thorre who produced a mojave chocolate combo and she eventually produced a super that helped me ID her as a new chocolate line.

She sure does, Randy. And that's what I'm really hoping she turns out to be now. I've always leaned toward probable Mojave (if anything) but now after recently developing a major interest in Chocolates, I see how much she resembles them, especially your line. She laid 6 slugs for me last year and doesn't seem to have taken this year. But now she's a monster eater and has gotten massive. And I'll have a male Cocolate Pin for her next season, so she's currently one of my most exciting little projects.

I love that Black Back!
Beautiful snakes, best of luck!

I had a female ball python (died a couple of years ago) that was very old. I never knew how old she was, because she was a snake I inherited from somebody that had had her for some time. She was 5 1/2 feet long. I don't remember how much she weighed, but everybody that saw her said she was the biggest ball python they had ever seen

Ryan,
That black-back is gorgeous!

Ohernz,
Way to give us info with no really true info. No guess on grams at least?? LOL

My biggest is barely 2300 so mine aren't even in the ballpark of any of your snakes!!!
