Welcome aboard. Good looking snake. How old/big is it?

In Christian demonology Astaroth is a prince of hell and is said to give mortal man power over serpents... I choose this name because of this reference and just because it sounds cool
Im not sure how old she is but i purchased her a few months ago and she is a little over 3 foot long, is there anyway to tell relative age by size? thanks for the welcome and the questions!

Assuming it is captive bred (safe assumption as it is albino) - at 3 feet my guess is 2 to 3 years.

Astaroth was a false deity and the Solomon book is apocryphal and was written a century after the holy scriptures.

No demon has any power other than that which is given by God.

James 2:19 says "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble."

In Mark 5:7, when Jesus approached the posessed man the demons said "What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not."

Mark 16:18 says "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" not to be taken literally but it does show that even satan has to ask permission to work his tricks.

In Job 1:6-12 we read the following:

"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

Nice cal king BTW.
