I was wondering if it was possible to estimate the age of a snake by its weight, particularly if it has been a solid, regular eater. At first, I thought my male bp was far too scrawny at 100g, but he eats so well and so readily for me that I started to think it possible that he was just a late hatch in '08. Then I picked up a 700g female, but they had no idea how old she was.
Is there any kind of general "rule of thumb" for determining age by weight? I know that no two animals are exactly alike, but there must be some relatively normal progression that can be averaged out, right? Thanks!![]()
