Average size for an adult jungle carpet? age and size

This for an unknown sex. So how old and how big is yours?

I know feeding etc can make it vary.But I just need a basic idea.Ive seen some huge ones and some tiny ones.My guy is only a year and half is 4ft and very girthy.I dont over feed if anything Im conservative.So I just want to make sure he/she is about average, and how big it will get.

Cool. Id love to see pics of you holding those.I always find pics of jungles but rarely find them with a reference to see how big they are.I want mine to be big but at the same time mine is a biter so its scary too.

Wow that is a big jungle.Looks like some can get pretty big then.Mine is about 18mnths and about 4ft, I cant measure it so Im estimating when he stretches out across the cage, And about as big around in the middle as a half dollar maybe a little less.Im desperately trying to tame it.I was able for the first time to put my arm in the cage and spot clean without getting bit.

Sasha,

One trick I use for accurately measuring my snakes is to first, lock up my cats.. lol.
Then place the snake in the living room, against the wall.. every single snake I have when on the floor against the wall *always* moves along the wall up tight to the corner as the move..

As they are moving along the wall, it's very easy to measure them with a measuring tape as they move.

I've spoken to friends, who also find that their snakes stick to the wall and straighten out when moving like this.

Cheers!
