My hubby has one and it's already 8'+. How much bigger can I expect it to get?
Answers:
You can expect it to get alot bigger. Most burmese in captivity will top out at 17-18 feet. Although, it is possible that it can get larger than that. They can reach lengths of 25+ feet, but that is very uncommon in captivity. They CAN reach weights of 300+pounds but again, that is very rare in captivity. Males are generally smaller than females.
We had one that was 6 years old, 16 feet long and just over 100 pounds. Our largest was a male that was 17 feet long and close to 200 pounds.
They can live 20-30 years with proper care.
BIG and LONG
Well, The Albino Burmese Pythons start out life as bright orange and yellow on a white background color. As they mature, they become and pastel yellow color. The Albino Burmese was one of the first "investment" reptiles and has now become very affordable to acquire as a pet. These snakes will grow very large, but generally have very gentle and deliberate temperaments. The Burmese python is one of the largest of all snakes, growing up to 25 feet and weighing up to 400 pounds. A Burmese Python at Serpent Safari Park in Gurnee, Illinois, USA holds the record for heaviest living snake. As of 2005, it weights of 182.76 kg (403 lb) at a length of 8.23 m (27 ft). It is also very important, that Burmese python is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 biggest snakes in the world.
Good luck and take care :)
Burmese can grow to lengths of 20 feet, and live upwards of 20 years.
Don't believe anyone who tells you that he will "only grow as large as their enclosure".
3-20feet long it depends what kind of python
they do get big and heavy but a 25 foot 400 pound burm is rare, i would say they will average around 16 feet males are usually smaller.
They can grow to 18 feet,and can live 30 to 40 years in captivity. Just keep him or her well fed.
