Ball python age...

Roughly how old would a 738gram female ball python be? How long until she can breed

Usually the standard is 1500 grams for the females so shes about half way,
I'd guess shes one and a half years old.
Just a guess though.

If she was fed a lot she could be a year old, if she wasn't fed well she could be 2 or more years old. Size isn't a good way to guess age because it all depends on how they were fed.

I agree 100 % but since he was asking about breeding, I wanted to give a response related to that,
but yes she could be older or younger.
1500 is still a factor but not the only factor,
Some don't even breed then, trust me!

Exactly. For perspective, here's how old my four (very well cared for) girls were when they reached ~738 grams:

• Butter Pastel - 1 year
• Enchi - 7.5 months
• Sugar - 10 months
• Spinner Blast - 1 year

We can all guess as to the age of your BP (and perhaps come close), but in all honesty we have no idea. It's like trying to say how much a 150 pound person is without any other information.

I believe the guy said that she was fed every 10 days if that means anything...

If she was only fed every 10 days, then most likely she has been grown a little on the slower side. But it depends on how big the feedings were, as well.

She is on smalls currently.. Not sure about before...

Even so, if he fed her something small every 10 days it would have kept her at the same size for a long time. Maintenance feeding.
