What's her weight? length? how often does she eat and what?

shes almost 2 feet like 19 inches...she eats live mice about once every week and i still have to find out how much she weighs cuz i cant find the gram scale.

She looks like she could be a year old easy. If she wasn't being fed a lot before you got her she could be that small and be a year old. My male who hasn't eaten in a while is almost a year and a half old and is about that size.

I'd venture a guess... 6 months to a year old.

In a nutshell :

NOPE! :groinkick: :juggle:

Buying a snake from a pet store usually means you have no idea about anything related to the snake, other than what some kid who works there tells you. You want details, by from a reputable breeder. :D

You won't really be able to tell how old she is since you have no idea how and what she was fed prior to you getting her. Suffice it to say she's an '08 hatchling.

I would have to agree with Slim, an '08 hachling like mine

Your going to be guessing with history often when you buy from a pet store but she looks like a nice girl. have you had a chance to look at our caresheets?
