Question on age?

[Davu]

Ok so i have been reading a lot of the posts. 5 or 6 months 300 to 400 grams. I got Davu and the previous owner said he was 6 months old. I weighed him on a crappy scale one of those old time ones. Not a digital is what im getting at and he was right around 500g and 30inches long. What do you guys think? Older then six months or just a healthy boy?

Sounds like a nice little chunk. Could be anywhere from 6-9 months old, I'd guess. They have a lot of variance in growth-rates. Some are like weeds, and others more like trees.

That is so true.....I have a six month old girl whos about 360g and then again, thre's Percy, who hatched on Sept 2, 2005 and only weighs about 150g.(he's my "tiny titan") Every snake is different.

Guess!!! We were told our Dax was between 6 and 8 months old when we got him, so between six and eight is seven, bingo, Dax was 7 months old when we got him and is now 8 months old.

Honestely, you may not ever be able to do any better than knowing he was born in 2005, but that does at least give you something.

Yea thats true and a good way to look at it so you dont drive yourself nuts!! I can be a stickler for details tho and thats what gets me!! Youll notice as i post more, they tend to be longer then "normal"! lol

Good advice tho, thanks!
