Very hard to say. We have snakes that grow like weeds and some very slow, just like people I guess. It also depends on the feeding schedule used and what was fed...so many variables. Looking over some data in the spreadsheets here I have a male that was born small and was only 174 g after 6 months, and made 505 at the end of the next year...then he shot up to 900 at the end of the next. He's my slowest guy and in his case he was plain testy so tough to feed and was smaller than his siblings. Conversely I have one female that hit 840 g in 12 months, whe was an eating beast.
