Hatchling, baby, juvenile, sub-adult, adult, "29", "of a certain age", geriatric?
Just wondering... at what age (or weight) ranges does a ball python fit into these categories? I assume there are somewhat standard definitions for the first few categories, but at what point might the the others come into it?
Hatchling
Baby
Juvenile
Sub-adult
Young adult
Adult
"I'm turning... 29. Again."
Middle aged
"Of a certain age"
Geriatric
Methuselah

The following is just my personal opinion... Your mileage may vary

Juvenile 6 months to 1 year
Sub-adult See Juvenile
Young adult 1 year to 3 years
Adult 3 years to 6 years
"I'm turning... 29. Again." 7 years to 9 years
Middle aged 10 years to 13 years
"Of a certain age" When they start looking for younger Ball Pythons
Geriatric 14 years to 20 years
Methuselah Over 22 years
