I don't know how old they are exactly; yearlings or less, I'm sure.
I'd bank on them bulking up when they hit adult length; that's what I've seen most snakes do--retics, boas, pits, etc all seem to do that. The pictures I've seen of adults seem to be fairly close in build to a bullsnake, which is what I'd term a middle of the road build. Not thin like a coach whip, not thick like a ball python. Decently girthy 
I'm not sure what size cage they'll go in eventually. Sort of depends on my observations and their size. 4x2 or 6x3 probably, but couldn't say for sure yet. Like I said info on adult size is *really* conflicting.
I have to say they're my first old world rat--hell, come to that the only new world rats I've kept previously are corns!
