Well we just tried weighing Athena, our malaysian, who is now about 16months old. She is approx 3ft in length, and sadly when weighing is a factor, "we tried" is quite literal in the sense that she is too heavy for our scales It weighs up to 2.5kg and when we placed her on there it read "error"!!!! We will have to borrow my mum's human electric weighing scales instead.

Big blood that Todd!! Oh dear, just to think that in a couple of years we'll have something that big

That is an AWESOME snake.... Why do they get so fat? It would seem to me that being so big would make them sluggish and hard to move.

Me neither.

Well, they are ambush predators so they don't need to move about a lot - they stay burrowed under the substrate and attack their prey as it wanders past They are very lazy snakes.. an adult needs no where near the room that another species of snake of equal size needs, simply due to the fact that they hardly move!!

They are very shy and private snakes, and do better in more private enclosures - Athena's favourite spot is her hide box, which she only just fits in now. To look at her in it you would be amazed that she managed to get in there! But she likes the security of feeling all sides against her.
