How can you tell how old they are?

ElusiveKimmaby Nov 09, 2004 04:52 PM

I bought my little girl from a pet store, and they bought her from a guy at a reptile show when she was just a weeeeee wittle baby. By the time they sold her to me she was 22 inches. In the past almost year she's grown I think to about 26 or 28, but it's hard to tell because she thinks it's WAY fun to wrap around the measuring tape. Well, how old do you think she is based on measurements? About how much do they seem to grow in a year? Does it differ between males and females?

It really depends on how much you feed the snakes. You can "starve" a snake and keep it tiny for years or feed it a ton and get it huge in 1 year.

I would guess ("guess" being the operative word) that your snake probably hatched in 2002.
