    Hatchling, baby, juvenile, sub-adult, adult, "29", "of a certain age", geriatric?
    Just wondering... at what age (or weight) ranges does a ball python fit into these categories? I assume there are somewhat standard definitions for the first few categories, but at what point might the the others come into it?

    Hatchling
    Baby
    Juvenile
    Sub-adult
    Young adult
    Adult
    "I'm turning... 29. Again."
    Middle aged
    "Of a certain age"
    Geriatric

    As a first time baby ball Momma myself I was just wondering this as well. That reply gave me a good laugh, lol.
