how old is she?

[pixie6710]

i got her at a reptile shop in the mall and the owner was out at the moment and i asked how old she was and they said they werent sure. somewhere between 4 and 6 months. im curious how old u guys think she is so i know what to feed her

[Freakie_frog]

No way to know.. feed her something about 1.5X the size of the biggest part of her body is a pretty good rule of thumb.

No picture.

Even with a picture...no one is going to be able to pin down a guess more accurate than the information you've already been given. They don't have special teeth to count or other physical indicators that tell exactly how long they've been out of the egg. Best thing someone can say is, "That's a hatchling that hasn't even had its first shed yet"....or "Yeah, its most likely a few months old."

I'm confused....I thought your mother was resistant about adding new animals after she said yes to the last 2? Has she changed her mind?

OK. I hope you're able to get over there more than once a month this winter. Make sure your sister understands how important quarantine is, so that these new kiddos aren't kept anywhere near your existing ones. Good luck!

At 4-6, my BP was eating fuzzy mice and could probably handle weanlings.

At the same time, it varies from snake to snake and the width is really what to go off. The other method is weigh the snake and go by the percentage rule(10-15% of the snakes weight is the last I heard)
