Thanks,
Sutmae

Where did you get the snake?
Did anyone know how old it was?
Did they tell you?
Did you ask?
I guess hatchlings, on the average, are born between about 8 to 12 inches. There are smaller and larger cases but either way this would put your snake at a very young age.
Did they tell you how many times it had eaten?
Did you ask?
If you knew their feeding schedule for hatchlings and how many times it had eaten then you would have a pretty good idea of it's age.
Why don't you go back and ask?
