Update on my Borneo Python Eel

[Chefken]

Its been a little more social lately.....usually spends most times partially hidden in a cave with my Polypertus.....between 13-14" in length. Feeding on nightcrawlers and trout worms. Had for about a year and half or so........I still have no idea what max size or lifepan is. Not much posted about these guys!!

Looks very fat and happy. Nice to see people keeping more obscure species.

Nice update.

Been a while since I checked.....anyone else keeping one of these guys?? Anyone ever see one over 2 foot? I do not believe they will reach Fire Eel size judging by growth rate. I have no idea how big they can get. Anyone?

I have one he is quite small right now maybe 7 inches? The growth rate seems much slower than a fire eel for sure

anyone have a big one??

I know this post is a bit old but I think I may have just purchased one of these eels? I am hoping you can help identify.

Looks half banded and tire track.

Thank you. Yes the one is a tire track and I thought the other was a half banded but was told it looked like this borneo eel. ??‍

Could be a Borneo but will need to settle in for sure. How big is it?
