hi guys, i was thinking about that royal python thats over 5000 grams on youtube
and i was wondering if breeding in a "giant" was something that breeders would be likely to do in the future.
it would be a perfect big snake in my opinion, a bigger snake for people who are only/mostly comfortable with royals
what do you think?
the video i was refering to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV7Ps7wW5vI |

@reptiledanny my royal is 3 ft and only half the age of yours, i wonder what that means for final adult size if anything.
and i would be keen to know more about the "ghana ball" too
she got to that size at about a year old, and has now been putting girth on rather than size |

I would prob say around the 4-5ft mark is where an adult royal will get to.
My female is about 3 1/2ft in length and is about 18 months old, so she will prob still do a bit more growing, but not much, I think shell max out at 4ft in a year |

Out of interest how big do normals RPs actually get?
I got my female because I thought she'd get bigger than a male and also I believed that female's tails look nicer.
Lots say 3-4 feet but I was see the impression that she could get to around 6 feet?
That burmball looks great, though personally I think that part of the grace of a royal is the slim and mobile neck. |

there is the ghana ball, which is a locality ball that is meant to be found to get to big sizes. they usually get to around the 5-6ft mark instead of the 4-5ft mark. |

isn't the larger version of a royal python basically a locality species... i think i've heard them referred to as the sub-saharan (odd names tho... isn't that where all royals are technically from :/) but the thought of a big royal sounds awesome! |

Been keeping tracks of it with pi reptiles, and just think she is soo fascinating!
Can't believe some crazy fool kept his burm and royal together but hey!! |
