    Relative age to size?

    Nah, it's always different for each ball python. It can depend on the health of the snake, the sex of the snake, the feeding schedule/size of prey, etc. So it's pretty difficult to tell.

    I heard if you "powerfed" them they grow twice as fast? Whats up with that, Is it true? I also heard it stunts their full growth.(say if a bp is supposed to grow to 5ft and it stops growing at 4 1/2 feet but it got there in a year or w/e it is)

    Powerfeeding causes many internal problems. The intestinal tract isnt designed to have food stuffed down it in rapid succession. I've also heard that it stunts growth and shortens lifespans. As far as i'm concerned .. i want my guys to stick around for a good long while
