Ball Python growth rate

[Dylan Young]

I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT LENGTH MY BALL PYTHON WILL GROW EVERY YEAR UNTIL IT REACHES ITS MAXIMUM LENGTH(GROWTH RATE)?

It depends on a number of variables: genetics, your feeding schedule, husbandry conditions. Some books state about 12" a year growth. However, the animals I have kept varied alot....some less, some more. There is no real 'growth rate'.....It just depends on you and your animal.
