Alex (as featured in my pfp) is modeled after a Burmese python, and is about 19 feet long and 6.5 feet in circumference. Excuse the crappy old art above, I'm really more of a writer than an artist lol!
A large real-life Burmese python is about 16 feet long and 165 pounds (from the Wikipedia page on the species) and about the thickness of a telephone pole (~maybe 6 inches in radius).
Now we have to think about the square-cube law!
A 16-foot-long, 6-inches-in-radius Burmese python weighs 165 pounds; a 16-foot-long, 12-inches-in-radius one would have to weigh 4 times more, or 660 pounds. But since Alex is a bit longer than that (and the extra length is like a large human torso and head), we should probably add an extra ~140 pounds to guess he's around an even 800lbs, or about 360kg. So definitely not a ton, but a pretty big guy!
(I apologize if I get anything wrong about them here-- I'm going by this ref and making best guesses otherwise! also I'm going to do this in metric units because you used that on the ref)
Aside from the tail, Katja's body shape is a bit like a big cat--like perhaps a lion or tiger! A large tiger might weigh about 250kg, and be about 2m long without the tail (from Wikipedia again.) Katja stands at about 2.6m, so if they were shaped exactly like a tiger, if we use the square-cube law again and note they are growing in two dimensions to meet this (width and height), they would weigh about 2.2 times more, or 550kg.
But Katja is not the shape of a real tiger... they are much wider! A tiger doesn't have the simple "width/diameter" a python does, but we can pretend they do just to make an estimate. If Alex is at least twice as wide as a Burmese python, Katja has got to be at least three times as wide as a hypothetical 2.6m tiger would be. Which would make them nine times heavier than that 550kg starter guess, or 4950kg-- almost 5 metric tons! We should add a bit extra for the tail, which we've been ignoring up until now... maybe make it 5 and a half metric tons for good measure, it's a big tail!
Anyway, since an elephant can weight up to 6800kg, I don't think that ~5500kg would be unreasonable for Katja. This is all a bunch of back-of-the-napkin estimations but I don't think it'd be TOO far off!
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
