age and size

I'm sure this question has many answers, but I'll see what kind of info I can get out of you knowledgeable boys/girls. I would like to know, what are normal measurements for BPs? Assuming normal feeding, what size would a BP be at 6 months? 1 year? etc. Just asking out of my own curiosity, and because I'm about a month away from getting my first BP. Thanks for the help!

Let's see... mine is going on 6 months old. He is ~22 inches long.

I guess I meant length and weight. Thanks again.

There really is no normal. I have two female ball pythons, at 1.5 years old, that I acquired together at the same weight last year, and presumably the same age. They were fed the exact same thing each week. One is significantly larger than the other.

Each ball python is individual, and differences in sizes can vary widely.

As long as your snake is girthy but not fat, muscular feeling rather than skinny with saggy skin and it's eating, pooping, peeing, shedding, etc. it's likely quite normal for age as far as I'm concerned. As Robin said they can be quite unique in their growth patterns depending on their own genetics and various other factors.
