Borneos can get up to six foot, but more around 4.5-5ft. I do have a male that is pushing six foot, but he is a mutant, LOL

Here is a photo of different varieties of "borneos" ie Python breitensteini. The darkest is my "mutant" male, the high contrast is a female borneo from the Barkers (VPI) and the center orange/gold is a Sarawak locality female from Chris Carmichael. The ages are between 4-7 years. The male is the oldest of the bunch.

Borneo's are great, aside from a real dark black there my favorite. I guess I have a mutant Borneo as well, my male is about 5 and half feet and still growing fairly rampant at about 2.5 years old

Hey J,
That is gorgeous! Take good care of that little girl, she is going to be outstanding some day, as she is already showing some amazing promise.

Borneos are great. I used to have a pair, now just have the single male, but am starting to build on the blood python sectiong of my collection again, so I'd like to get at least another female, if not two. My male (Hannibal) is about 8 years old, 5.5' long (or a bit over) and averages about 27 pounds. I love his warm, chestnut background colors.
