I have a 4 1/2 year old female Irian Jaya Carpet Python. I bought her 02/15/2017 and she fasted for 4 months but has recently started eating with no problems. During the fast she grew from 6' to 7.5'. With that type of growth, I currently feed a jumbo rat every three weeks, will the growth maintain? Reason I as is she should live 15 to 20 years old and will get so long. Don't take me wrong as the larger she gets I like it and have no problems treating her as a pet should be treated. I really enjoy her and she is so docile. Terrarium 6'x2'x4' allows room and has what that type of snakes wants/needs. IN THE END MY QUESTION IS will her growth remain the same or with age do they start to grow slower?

I was provided wrong information by seller. I have female coastal carpet python, not irian jaya carpet python, so she will get large, and I like that, and seems grow fastest up to around 7 years of age and then growth slows. Some information may not be 100% on but is close enough for what questions I had.
