(7.62 m) however, it is possible for some to grow near 30 ft. (9.14 m) with a weight of 300lbs. (136.08 kg.), the largest was measured at 33 ft.

(61 cm) in length, life span of the python is 25 to 30 years. Dietconsists of small mammals and birds, the larger the python the larger the prey which include pigs, dogs, cats and primates, etc., the python ambushes it's prey, holds it with it's teeth and suffocates the victim with constriction rather then crushing it, after swallowing the prey whole digestion takes many days to several weeks depending on the size of the prey.
the record was 13meter for a reticulated python.

2 meters
No. A Burmese python can grow to 5-7 feet in their first year which already exceeds your ball python's TOTAL adult length.
Depends on weight or length. For a Ball python with a length of 46 inches, it would take 45 seconds per meter. Depends on weight or length. For a Ball python with a length of 46 inches, it would take 45 seconds per meter.
The Reticulated Python reaches 30 ft in length, though the longest reticulated python ever found was 33 ft in length.
No it does not hinder nor help
Retic pythons grow up to 33 ft long. That is about a bus's length.
In Java, Indonesia, a 900 pound, 49 foot long python is believed to be the largest ever recorded.
The anaconda and python are both strong animals that could swallow a horse. It depends on how long the anaconda is or the python's length. Usually anacondas are more vigorous due to their length and size.
A reticulated python at 33ft in length. The longest snake is the Reticulated Python, found in Indonesia. The record length for an adult "retic" is believed to be around 30ft. No measured and documented specimens of this length have been found, however.
