What Size Should I Expect?
I ordered my first ball python - a normal female - born in 2011. She'll be here Wednesday. What size range should I be expecting?

It really depends. Each snake grows at a different rate. If it is an early 2011, it could be over 1,000g possibly. If it's a late 2011 it could be as small as 200g.

Depends on a few things, how early in 2011 how fast the animal was started, whether or not it's a good feeder, feeding frequency, prey size etc. I have 2011 ranging from 250 grams to 900 grams.

We need a smaller age range than 2011, can you give us the month?
Didn't you ask what the size was before you bought it?

The person sending her will probably be your best bet, ask them. There are too many unknown factors to make more than an educated guess, the more details you can provide the closer people will get at guessing her actual weight.

I liked the breeder so I was going to purchase from them anyhow.
I was going to ask when they called to confirm the shipping date, but I was at school when they called and forgot to tell my parents to ask.
I have a feeling she is a later 2011. But I don't know for sure. Wednesday it is.

As a general rule, we list our BPs by weight, not length.

It is a 2011 and only weighs 80 grams? How is that possible? Was it ever fed?
