Royal Python sizes?

[Shane2]

Male or Female
Which ends up thicker? And would it also be longer?

When i eventually get around to buying one i would prefer to have the largest possible.

females are generally larger and a lil thicker than males when fully grown as far as i know.

[phil]

bev is right,males average about 2 1/2 ft and females 4ft although both can and do grow bigger and smaller.

[little_chrissy]

yea think females grow at most to 5foot but males are half that

lol, my big boy was 3"8 at his last measure up (4-5 months back now), and still going strong he was roundabout 1200g last time i weighed him, hes long and sleek looking.

9500g is like... the best part of 21lb, that is one big royal - if it was (and i say this lightly) only 6 feet long, i bet it was quite fat ??

I am only guessing the length,it didnt look fat,it looked pretty lean.
I have had a look on KS but i couldnt find the post,there was a link to it on LIVE FOOD but i cant find that either will have another look
