BHP - how big?

[guzzo]

I have not had anything to do with BHP's and have previously only seen juveniles. Well I saw an adult the other day and was very surprised at how big it was.....it was a lot longer and thicker than i imagined they would be. I thought to myself "that is actually a big snake".

I know a lot of people keep them on this site so i would be interested just how big they get...length or weight.

Look forward to any replies/pics.

Mine is a bit over 6ft and last time I weighed him (a few months ago) he was 2.6kg. He is 3 and a half yo, and from others I have seen he still has plenty of growing to do!

Check out dens website and you will get an idea how big they can get. Just check out the link to housing and look at the girth of the white girl. Beautiful snakes!

the longest one i have personally measured was a wild one 2.65 meters.unfortunatly it was just hit by a car on the Turkey Beach Road. i was in the work ute and didn't have a camera but i had a tape measure. it was that old that its stripes were almost completely faded.it almost looked like an olive python with a black head.
there should be some captive bred BHP's that should top that length though, but a 2.65meter blackhead is huge once you see one in the flesh.
cheers

We'll take your word for it. But don't make us see a thread one day stating how one ate the other! They are very well known for their cannibalism in the wild.
