Been debated over and over, here and other places. A male most likely will not top 14 feet. What you get off the captive market today is a scaled down version of the original. In the wild the biggest and strongest mate. In captivity the brightest colors mate, so you end up with a weaker gene pool. There are the occasional exceptions. I have a male that is near 17’ but he was breed for size.

Can anyone tell me what the weight of an adult male burm could be, the length is one thing but the weight is a whole other ball game.

The weight of these animals can vary which does not have much to do with there length but the girth of your animal. I d say the range is betwwen 100-200 pounds, you really can t say a closer range because every animal is different, like you can t say what wait your baby child is going to be when they are older cause humans weight can vary in such a range aswell!

Well just make sure you know what your getting into. I built a 4x2x2 which took all day and now less than a year later I'm building another.
Average size for males would be around 12ft...BUT they can get bigger. Average for females is around 15ft.
My burm right now is at 9 months of age and 5ft!(you can see him in the Photo Discussion called FInally!(lots of pics)

I Think an average sized male would be about 80-120llbs gestimate. They are much thinner in girth than females. I'm saying this based on a regular feeding schedule.

Your looking at an average of 12-14 feet. I wouldnt suggest powerfeeding at all. by powerfeeding youll get a snake 10+ feet in less than a year and its really not healthy. At 14 feet youf looking at rough 90-110 pounds of muscle

I have a 12 ft. male albino burmese that is 8 years old and approx. 85 lbs.. He feeds on a 6 to 8 lb. rabbit every 3 weeks and stays in perfect health. I don't expect him to get too much bigger than he is now, but time will tell.

My female is near 17 feat and only 5 years old,...I wouldn't know what her weight is buyt she is not fat she is in top condition. No powerfeeding here. Just feeding once every 5 to 7 weeks 3 rabbits
Think hard before you get your burmese... ANd when you decide to get one try to adopt one first ..
