Like humans, do BPs have a prime growing phase in their life? It is my understanding - and correct me if I'm wrong - that they will continue to grow throughout their lifetime, albeit at a slower rate once they hit a certain point. Is that point related to their age, or their size? I can't find any references to a version of an epiphyseal plate - which makes sense because they don't have long bones - but do they have a similar type of growth plate that once a 'prime growing' age has passed slows their growth?

Specific example - I know someone who has a female cinnamon that is 2 years old. She's got some really great coloring and some weird blushing that almost looks like a peach color. I'd really like to get her, but the problem is she's only 350ish grams. Super small! Supposedly, the cinny had been sold to someone who didn't properly care for/feed her and was eventually returned. She's thriving, doing well, and while small doesn't look skinny. She could probably pass off as a 3-4 month old snake based off of her size. I'm wondering if she's nearing or has already passed any sort of window that she would've gotten the bulk of her growing done and will never reach normal adult size, or if she could still reach a healthy size for breeding.


[The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of a 'project snake', but still want to know an answer. lol]​
