Murray Darling size issue

hey, i am considering buying a Murray Darling but their size might be a bit of a concern. I would like to know roughly how long it would take for it to be fully grown and how big its girth would be.

Hi Wednesday
Murrays tend to grow short but bulky. It all depends on how much you feed them to how fast they will grow. My male is around 8 yrs old and not quite as thick as a cricket ball and around the 2m mark. Female is around 9yrs old the same length but a little bit thicker but I feed her a lot more than the male.

Good luck with your snake.

A MD is the best choice for a first snake. Our have never bitten and are fantastic to handle.

Here's a little pic of one our our new girls. Good luck!
