Royal Python

An adult Royal Pythons generally do not grow to more than 90-120 cm (3-4 feet) in length, although some specimens have reached 152 cm and even 182 cm (5-6 feet), but this is very rare. Females tend to be slightly bigger than males maturing at an average of 4 - 4.5 feet. Males usually average around 3 - 3.5 feet. The build is stocky while the head is relatively small.
