    Size.

    I'm not in any kind of hurry, but I was just curious at what age a pb is considered full grown. I wasn't sure if they stop growing when the reach a certain age, or if they continue to grow until they pass away.

    You might be a herper if the thought of a burglar in your house makes you laugh.

    Snakes will grow throughout their lives. You can't really state an age that a snake is "full grown", however if a snake eats well it is considered full grown at about 3-4 years.

    I've heard about snakes that were not fed very well for years, and when they did start eating more they would experience a growth spurt until they came up to full grown size.

    Someone on another forum recently picked up a rescue burm that was 6 years old I think and somewhere around 7 feet. That just goes to show you what bad feeding and conditions can do.
    lots of snakes
