Pictures for the "Show me your huge ball python" recurring thread.......my monster

JP Sep 08, 2004 07:59 PM

People often ask for pics of large adults...so here's mine. This girl is my largest and most proliffic producer. I got 9 fertile eggs from her this year, and expect more next. She's larger now than before she laid, and pounds FT large rats like I eat tic-tacs. Unfortunately my scale drops off somewhere around 3000 grams, and she's way past that. For size reference, my wife is 5'8" tall, and in the bottom picture, that's a regulation size wine bottle (a nice vintage too, IMO). Don't get me started on our Virginia Wines...lol. Enjoy the pictures....let me know what you think!

Yours is a big un...hope she gives more eggs this year.....

This is one I just picked up from a local.....and underfed really....
She weighed in at about 2500 when I got her....so far she has eaten 3 medium rats and a monster breeder rat that died....She should be about 3500 for breeding season....which she probably should already be at least that....but shes eating well....and I predict 10 eggs

Here is the largest ball python I have ever seen in person.....sadly she passed away a few years ago.

She was just over 6 feet in length and in her prime weighed over 9000 grams..........yes...........I said 9000 grams. She laid 1 clutch of 18 eggs and 1 clutch of 10 eggs and never bred again.
