I just picked up a Central American imperator (looks like a Nic to me) that was somewhat larger than the others I've seen for sale locally. I've heard that these boas grow to about 3.5-4' long when fed conservatively. Mine is a little over 2 feet long and not quite the diameter of a quarter at the thickest. Obviously it's not a newborn, but I was hoping someone with experience could give me some estimate of its age?

It's a farmed import so I'm wondering if it's one from last year? I just didn't think one would get to this size if it was born this spring. Any help would be great. Also, can anyone tell me how many offspring the boas from this locality tend to have per litter? Thanks.
