How old is my snake?

[Jtupnsmoke]

Trying to find out how old my male yellowbelly is. He was advertised as an adult at the pet store, but the didn't say exactly how old. We got him at Christmas. As of this evening, he is about 31" - 32" long and weighs around 380 grams. He's been on small rats for 2 weeks now and seems to take them fine. Just trying to get a better understanding of how old he really is. Thanks.

There is literally no way for any of us to tell you an answer. There are so many variances involved. Growth can be affected by size of food it's been fed, frequency it's been fed, genetics, etc.

Yeah, they all grow at different rates............. no way to tell without talking to the original breeder.

Thanks. I called the store and they weren't 100% sure of how old he was either. They thought he was around 6 months or younger but wasn't sure. I'm really just trying to make sure he is growing at a healthy rate. Thanks for the help.
