Ok, I've never had a blood python nor have i even seen an Adult blood in person. I've read they grow to 10 feet. I'm just wondering, what does a full grown blood python weigh. I'm a dumeril's boa guy even thow there isn't much of a market for them any more i still love breeding them but i think blood pythons are one of the coolest looking snakes in the world. Kinda reminds me of the gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) and puff adder(Bitis arietans).

P.S.- anyone who would like to talk herps sometime on yahoo messenger. Drop me an e-mail with your user name. Herpers always welcome on my buddy list.

Hey,
In short, Blood pythons don't get to be any where's near 10 feet, and so anyone telling you that is not very familiar with the species. Blood python females get to be about 5-6.5 feet and can weigh any where from 25-40lbs as an adult. The males don't get as large and or heavy, but are quite stout for their size too. The males can get to a large size of 4.5- 5 feet and can weigh as much as 25-30Lbs. They too, are a relatively stout snake relative to their size.

One thing I must mention - the Red Bloods are the largest of the Blood and short-tail group of snakes.
