How Old is my Ball Python?

Raevynwood Feb 13, 2007 11:16 AM

About 2 months age my partner acquired a ball python from a family that claimed that she was biting them. Unfortunately, he didn't ask how old she was and has no way to contact this family again. I was hoping someone here could give me a good estimation of about how old she is. She is 30 inches long. We've been feeding her weekly. She started out with 1 adult mouse (thawed) but decided to go to change to 2 adult mice (thawed)about 2 weeks ago. She hasn't shed or displayed signs of going into shed yet. I'm thinking she has to be at least a couple years old. What do you think?

If you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry I just noticed a typo at the beginning of my post.

"About 2 months age my partner acquired a ball python from a family that claimed that she was biting them."

It should've said "About 2 months ago..."
