Can someone post a picture of an adult Dumerils?

ngiovas Dec 29, 2005 07:38 AM

I have been looking for a picture of an adult Dumerils, preferably with someone holding it so I can see how big it is. All of the pictures I have seen are of snakes sitting in a cage and you really can't see what the snake looks like or how big it is. I am not really concerned about length. I am more curious about girth/weight.

Girth wise, how big are they compared to the average adult Ball Python? How much does a typical male/female weigh?

Thanks,
NG

This is my male on my nephew who was in the 2nd grade then.
It's not a very good pic. I've got to take some more tomorrow as
I'll probably be selling this guy next year.

He's a little under 5 feet now and about 5 years old. He isn't
as thick as a full grown ball, but healthy ball pythons are
pretty thick animals. He's very strong, by far the strongest
snake I've had. (I've had ball pythons, hogs, guyanans, borneos, yellow anacondas)...

I've seen some much bigger than this. There is a nice pic in one
of the soft cover boa manuals of a huge adult male.
