There really is no average size a ball should be at any given age - it's very dependant on the snake and it's genetics - some grow much faster than others, some grow to be monsters and other stay very small. Sex and diet can also be a factor. As long as it's eating regular and doesn't look too skinny and it's healthy - those are the things you should worry about. For three years old - 3 ft plus and over 1000 grams but there are always exceptions.

If it's a female she should be atleast 3-4ft long if she was fed well for the past few years. She should weigh atlest 1500 grams by now unless she is a poor feeder. I have 8 month old balls that are topping 1000 grams at this time. If it is male her could be fat and healthy from about 800 grams and up.
