    yes there is. find out who bred it and ask them.

    Other than that - I don't think there is.

    If you want an exact date, you are out of luck.

    If you want a ball park figure tell us how much your BP weighs (in grams) and we can give an age range estimate.

    Count the number of alien heads. Works just like a tree. For each one, the BP is 1 year old.

    No unless you find the breeder, you'll never know.

    Cut her in half and count the rings.

    JK!!!

    There is no real accurate way to estimate an unknown age.
    Ball pythons all grow at different rates to different sizes. For example, I have a 6 month old female as large as a year and a half old male. Some snakes never grow larger than 900 grams, while others are 3000 gram whoppers.

    As long as she's healthy, you're good. Age is largely not determinable unless you have a date of birth. Unlike dogs and trees you can't check their teeth or the rings around their trunk, respectively.
