I am intrested in buy a peach throat and wanted to know form a hatchling to a yearling about how big will a peach throat get being feed a normal size diet.Thanks

Chuck

Doubtful you will find a hatchling, most are months if not years old already.

Anyhow, a male peachie can easily grow from a foot long to about three foot in a year.

so would you say about a foot and a half per year is an average growth rate of a peach throat. A full grown peach throat is about four and a half to five feet. So they reach adult size at about two or three years old. Would that be about right?

Should be about 3' in a year, after that growth tapers off. The problem is there are alot of variables. I do have one that is close to four, and he is the youngest of the lot. Generally first year or so they grow long, then they start to fill out.

I'm not sure where the 5' figure came from, but that is mammoth, 3-4' would seem a more common size. I've never seen one close to 5'.

Wow, that's one big boy.
