It really depends on feeding habits and genetics.
I have some that are 600 grams and some 1800 grams at 14 months.
The 600 gramer eats sporadically and the 1800 gramer every 5 days religiously.
I also have 40 CH 05's that are 7 months old the majority are 600 to 700 grams a couple are in the 300 gram range and 6 are 1000 to 1200 grams they all feed for the most part every 5 days on an appropriate size meal from the time they came in I could tell that the 6 big ones where growing faster than the others on the same size meals. After 4 or 5 weeks their appropriate size meal was larger than the rest because they were considerably bigger.

That is interesting. Are the snakes that are larger from the same clutch, or is the size difference not related to clutch mates?

They are all out of a shipment of 2000 imported babies.
