The ROYAL Python (to give the correct name from its latin name of Python Regius) can grow to a length of up to 60 inches. ALL my adult specimens are well over 55 inches !
Incidentally - The Royal Python only got the tag of 'ball python' from its defensive posture of curling itself into a ball when threatened !
