with males usually maxing out around 4-6 feet and females in the 5-8 foot range. I've seen one female at that 8 foot length, more typical is 6-7. They are girthy animals, pretty stout. My 2001 females are at about an even 6 feet, males about 4 1/2.

thanks dude, thats exactly what i wanted to know!

what do you keep brazilians or bolivians? of the two which would you recommend?

i know they are not "red tails" but ive seen a few that exhibit this trait as babies, do they carry this into adult hood?

thanks again

and a litter of brazailian amarali from this past sept. I would recommend whatever appeals looks wise to you most. Out of all my 14 amarali, not including the babies, all but one brazil amarali female is very tame and handleable.
