Cool, as I said, I don't know how much experience you have, now I know and after 8 years I think we can safely say you're not a novice. 
My girls is just under 9 foot and she is about 5 years old. She's not power fed, but then again she's not starving either.
My boy is from what I can gather from previous records (ex zoo animal), is about 12years old and and is approx 11 foot long and weighs in at 6.5kgs. I don't have any feed records on him prior to me getting him, so who knows what his food intake was. His records also show his had a few medical problems as a young fella so it's anybodys guess if that affected his growth rate, but he's a health boy now.

how long is a ball of string. It depends on the amount of food and the snake itself. If you are going to get one then get a male as they are easier to handle. Still not to easy but easier then females. My female killed my male just because she could. They will bite and chew and crap and pee on you like there is no tomorrow. I got hit by a big one once and it was like being king hit by someone with a fist full or knives. Busted me good and then she chewed and chewed some more. I love em lol

not neccessarily it is just that in my case I put them together for sometime and she didn't like it so got him. I really do like these guys because they have attitude and will let you know if you are getting complaicent. I am not sure how long you have been keeping but I would say that these animals definately are not for the novice.

I don't personally have any experience with them but I've seen one guy's setup with a trio of sub-adults living happily in a room about 3m x 5m from memory. He obviously didn't have a problem with them killing each other and didn't mention if that would be enough room for them when they're fully grown but he said he used a shield (rubbish bin lid) every time he opened the door

For wanting to get a scrubby, despite hearing everyones testimonials on them being so aggressive, you sir are certifiably INSANE!  |
