    Can someone help me guess age?

    Hey guys,

    I got my baby girl about 3 months ago from Petco. I hadnt really done any research at the time so I went by what they told me (which was a terrible mistake.) They said feed her a pinky mouse every seven days so I did that for about 4 weeks. Then I found BP.net and changed my ways. She currently pigs out of rat pups/or fuzzies (they are 35 grams.. if someone could tell me which they are that would be wonderful) So she was underfed for a while... Back on topic, Im curious as to how old she is. Im thinking she is probably a little light for her age (250 grams and exactly 2 feet). Im guessing she is about 6-8 months? If anyone could tell me what they think that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Same thing happened to me! I bought my first ball python at Petsmart and they told me to feed it a small pinkie once a week. What an idiot. Luckily I found BP.net!

    It's nearly impossible to guess with underfed pet store snakes. It could be several years old and still under 2 feet.. Regardless she's on the right track now and should show some good growth for you!

    Will her growth be stunted forever because of it? Or now that she is in my care does she have potential to get full grown?
