Length isn't the best of measures, because it is not always

easy to get a good (and consistant) measurement. Whenever I

buy snakes from people, I don't ask them how long they are.

I got too tired of finding out that my tape measure measures

in 'big' inches, and everyone elses measures with those special

'small' inches LOL! I've had people sell me snakes claiming

they were 5' long, but when I got them they were closer to

3.5'.



What you really want to do is weigh them and track them that

way. The scale is an accurate way to track progress. When

buying, I find it handy to ask for a weight so that I won't be

surprised by a smaller than expected snake.



To specifically answer your question, I think it is unlikely

that a ball python could grow 10" in 3 months, but I guess it

isn't impossible. If you feed them heavily and often, they can

grow pretty quickly.



Best of luck to you!
