Who has the biggest of each sp?

[kawasakirider]

As to the size of carpets, there was a Wild specimen from NSW collected and reliably measured in 2002 that weighed 49lbs and measured 11'4"!!!! While thats clearly not the norm, there are some monsters out there on occasion.

Is this true?

If you guys can't see the pics, let me know and I'll upload them here. The diamonds head is amazing.

Yeah looks like you have to be a member to see them. Just a heads up too, I don't think they like posting links to other reptile forums.
Do you know the locality of your Jungles? Unless they're Athertons you may be a bit disappointed with how big they get

 

[SamNabz]

Jungle pyhon 40cm and very light...
spotted 1.6m is my biggest

1.6m mac? Care to share a pic..?

 

[saximus]

I didn't even catch that! I'd be interested to see that too

 

[kawasakirider]

I caught it, but didn't know if I was confusing spotteds for something else. I know stimmies are small, too.

I'll upload the pics and get rid of the links.

OK here we go

Bredli

Nice jungle, dodgy perspective but it's large, even though he's holding it out infront of him.

Huge coastal, 14.3kg apparently

Last but not least, the diamond beast.

It's got a head like a bloody Staffy. Photoshop?

I have no idea what locality mine are, Dan. Any idea by looking at them? How long will it take for them to be full size usually? I know there are variables, but 3 years, or can they grow longer? Is it true that snakes have indeterminate growth?

 

[saximus]

No I'm terrible at picking Jungle localities sorry. If they're pumped with food they can get to adult size in less than two years. Supposedly they do grow continually and just tend to slow once they reach "adult" size but I've never seen studies proving it.
That diamond is ridiculous!

 

[kawasakirider]

No drama's. I've heard if you "powerfeed" the lifespan of the snake is reduced. I'm not keen on doing that. Although the way they've been eating may be considered powerfeeding? The fuzzies are huge compared to the snake.

Yeah, the diamond is huge, I think the coastal is impressive, also.

i think yours are palmerstons , going from everything you have posted. especially if you are waiting on them to yellow up. the one in the pic above i think is an atherton. i am only saying that due to its size and its colours look like my atherton.

I thought palmerstons were supposed to be bright?

There is so much controversy over the notion of locality that I am thinking I will start a thread about it.

Anyway Im probably not telling you anything you dont already know.....palmerstons tend to be smaller than athertons and palmerstons tend to be brighter...having said that I have a lovely atherton here with beautiful bright yellow as bright as a palmerston.

 

[Vixen]

True palmerstons shouldn't get over the 4 - 4.5ft mark.

 

[kawasakirider]

Well my hatchie male is already over 2 ft. He's 5 ish months old I think.

This will give you an idea of his size, the tank is 45cm square.

Colour

Any ideas?

 

[Australis]

Isnt that "Diamond" A mid north coast carpet?

 

[kawasakirider]

Probably... I suck at ID'ing snakes. Looks like a diamond to me, though.

A mac is a spotted.

 

[saximus]

A mac is a spotted.

Where does he say it isn't?

 

[dihsmaj]

'My Mac isn't as big as my cadwallader's spotted'.
It's like he's referring to two different species, I reckon he should've said 'I have two Macs, one is a lot bigger than the other, 1.6m. The other one is 1.3m and 890 grams.'
