This is a 3 foot African rock python. That's a tenth of his adult size(30 ft.) He's not a very friendly guy.

Python Jay,
Thanks man. He's pretty cool except for his temper. Actually the female that is his mother is a monster! I'll post her picture in the next week so you can see her.Your right though, on average they reach about twenty foot. I had another male about ten years ago that got up to 21 foot. Cool talking with you.

These are a few samples of my collection. I have usually somewhere between 400 to 500 reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids in my collection depending on new hatchlings and what I've imported.

Jay,
I wish I had a picture of my old male rock to post. I had that snake for ten years or better.He passed away when I was about twenty. Actually, he was nothing compared to the world record holder. The world record length african rock as of 1998 is 26 ft. 4 inch male. Give me about five years and I'll have the guy in the picture over 15 foot. It's all in what you feed them. Start them on rat pups at a very young age. Then rabbits when they get large enough. And eventually baby pigs. This recipe equals 20 feet.
