how fast will he grow?

How fast will my male bp grow? and how long till he is at his max size?

hard question to answer... different snakes grow at different rates. He will never be at a max size until the day he dies... The growth slows down to an almost unmeasurable rate in time, but they never stop growing.

I find that most ball pythons take about 3 to 4 years to be fully grown. Males about 3 yrs females about 4. But that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't ready to breed before 3 to 4 yrs. Males can breed sometimes as early a 5 months, females about 2 years until sexual maturity.

True, but after about 3 years their growth rate slows majorly. That would also be why they shed less, and over a longer duration of time.
