Favorite python size to work with

6 feet and under
6 to 10 feet
10 feet to 20 feet
20 feet plus

I like any snake, no matter how big or small. But I guess my favorite snake is a burm, so I guess im in the 10-20ft category, I know they can get over 20ft fairly easily, but none of mine are there, yet.

All of my burms have been a joy to work with til they hit about 10'. At this point they become a handful to handle. I love my big girls, but they are most fun to work with when they are about 8'.

I like my ball pythons for ease when giving them a exam but my 7 foot BCI s are fun you can really get a handle on then without feeling the you might break em but still small enough to muscle easly -Jeff

10 to 20.

85% of my animals are over 10 feet.
have not yet been graced with a 20footer.
cant wait for the day though

5-10. Carpets, bloods, and boas. Of course I still enjoy my small fry, like sand boas, you can just have more of them and it's not so much work. And smaller ratsnakes are cool. But 5-10 feet is the most fun to play with.

Once my burms cross over the 10/11 ft mark they become dead weigh hee hee. I must have the arms of a lumberjack by now!

Id say 6-10. my favorite python species are Leiopython sp, and Liasis sp, then of course carpets.

Gotta love the big guys tho!

I love my tiger retics, they can be wrapped around your arms, legs, waist and still visit a friend!! I think it is the challenge of getting them to do what I want them to do, instead of what they want to do. My IJ Carpets are cool too, and I don't have to get a friend to be my back-up with them in case they get a little ....uh...spunky. I just love those big snakes!!!!!

i would have to say 6-10 just because of weight factors and the comfort of the animal being handled, ie; the heavier they are the more un-comfortable for them it is, and if you hurt them, they may bite you.
I have some 7-9 footers that just sit there when you hold them, great for pics, and kids, of course they are handled almost daily, for fairly long periods of time, however my boid's over 10 while still tame, i only handle with another person around to assist me , safer for me, easier on the snake.........
