Earlier i asked about bloods everyone just commented on burms and bloods and didnt answer my main questions...I really just want to know HOw big on average they get males and females GIRTH and LENGTH also i would like to know how fast they grow per month.....thanks,
Jake

Honestly, unless someone has records of several clutches where they measured length, girth and weight over a period of several years, I don't think you're going to get the specific information you're looking for...

Since I have a female, this is what I know, and/or remember from all the care sheets I read before getting my blood.

Females can grow to over 7 feet, but its rare, and the average is about 6 feet. The often weigh over 30 pounds, and will get as big around as my calf. I'm not sure exactly how many inches around it is, or how it would compare in girth to you.

I couldn't tell you how long it takes to get that big, because I don't really care... I'm going to keep my snake no matter how big she gets, and no matter how fast she outgrows her cage. My baby blood has probably grown 4-6 inches since I got her a little over two months ago, and is probably 15% thicker than she was when I got her. I have no idea how much she's changed, because its way too stressful to take measurements. The less she's stressed, the more she eats, and the faster she grows.... exactly the way I like it.

People who have more experience... please correct me if any of this information is wrong. I just thought I'd type up what I knew off the top of my head since this poor guy didn't get the answers he wanted earlier.

I figured since I have enough snakes I might as well take a pic. Sorry no one answered your question, its kinda hard to tell what a person really wants answered. Theres also alot of info available by searching the boards because alot of questions are asked very frequently. Anyways these aren't reds there Borneos cause thats all I have. However the size is fairly comparable, tho reds get a tiny bit larger on average. The smalledst is about 5 months the middle one is a year and half and the biggin is 3.5 years (not positive). The large one is a male and pretty much fully grown at 5.5 ft 25 lbs, with his lungs full he's about 6 in wide. With a full grown red female you can probably expect about another .5-1 ft and 5-10 lbs. Growth rate is entirely up to the snakes, I have a couple babies that are the same age as the little girl and about 50% larger. This little girl was average size for her age tho so I used her as well as the year and a half old. Anyways.. I'll stop blabbering I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.

six feet and a few specimens can reach nine feet.A females girth can reach two feet at the widest point.Adult males are a bit smaller.Red Bloods are fast growing snakes my yearlings are almost two feet.In my oppinion red bloods grow two feet a year for two and a half to three years and slow down to a foot a year and slow down even more once they reach adults.Pictured below is my 3 yr old male that is now 5 ft exactly and about 11 inches across.
