Hello everyone,

I'm new to keeping BP's and I recently bought one from the pet store. I have him/her (I don't know the gender) now for +/- 6 weeks and in the beginning I only fed one mouse every 7 days, but he/she seemed really hungry as the feeding response was really strong. So I decided to try a rat 5 days after the last mouse and also the rat that seemed pretty large was caught within a few seconds. So the snake swallowing that whole rat got me thinking about what age the BP must be, because in the store they acted as if the snake was not even 1 yr old, but later I called them to ask again and then they said "if you bought one of the "bigger" one's than he/she probably is around 2-3 yrs old" (and I bought one of the bigger one's, however I don't know whether there were bigger one's before I bought mine). So imagine how confused I am right now.

So if someone can please help me to determine the approximate age that would be great. The BP is 80 cm (i'm from Europe) and weighs 590 gram.
I also included pictures to make things more clear. I would also appreciate it if someone could tell me whether it's a male or female.

Thanks a lot!
