How Fast & How Much Will My IJ Grow?

MtnLioness Feb 17, 2010 04:04 PM

He turned 8 months old yesterday. I'd say he's a little over 2 feet long. I know it depends on how much he feeds. He eats a decent sized mouse every 5 to 7 days.

What age are they when they reach their full length, generally?

Thanks in advance! This forum seems pretty quiet.

carpet pythons reach adult size in about four years. like alot of animals they have indeterminate growth and will grow throughout their entire lives. adult ijs average 4 - 6 feet but can reach lengths of 8 or more although this is relatively unheard of.
hope this helps

Jason, thanks so much for the response!

Wow, this forum is really, really quiet. I had hoped to find a place to hang out and enjoy talking about snakes.

But again, thanks for answering!
