I e-mailed the guy i bought the snake from last night and he told me the snake was born on 11/22/2003 ....That does not seem right to me cause of the snakes size...How old do you think the snake could be?

Are you thinking it is too small or too large for that age (roughly 6 months)? Looks normal to me.

For example, if he had 2 litter mates from 11/03 and they both fed, and then he brumated one of them until March but kept feeding the other one, then there would be a drastic size difference. I brumate most of my baby snakes and keep a few (future breeders) on heat over the winter time during their first winter, otherwise it is brumation time ( a break for me too LOL)

If your snake is feeding and acts healthy, then you should be good-to-go.
