My first Ball Python!

I'm pretty sure it is a female and it weighs 464 grams and is 2 1/2 ft. long. Would anyone be able to guesstimate it's age off these stats? Oh and not meaning to spam or anything cuz i did post this already...but do you happen to know what morph it is from looking at the picture?

hey,

nice girl you got there, in the other thread you ask if it is a Mojave or a Phantom and like I said there.

I have to go with Phantom

Definitely not Mojave. I don't know much about Phantom.

Lovely girl either way! I would guess somewhere around a yearling, but weight gain can vary quite a bit from snake to snake.

Welcome to the forum. :)

What a gorgeous girl you have there!

Thanks everyone :) The morph question is resolved now btw :)

I would say 6 months old, but it varies a lot. The person you got her from didn't have a hatch date?

I have a female mojave that was born August 2014. She weighs 206g. I have a female that was also born August 2014 and she is 890g... so it is very hard to tell by weight, age and size.

Breeders tend to feed snakes they do not plan on keeping a little less then their keepers, so they are usually smaller then an average fed BP. But, many in my collection were about 6-8 months when they were 400-500g on average. That is not a guarantee though and you may never know your snake's true age. And as stated before, she is not a mojave.

What a Sweet Heart and congratulation on your first Ball

Pretty snake, and welcome.
