    Likely no older than just a few months. They hatch in the 50 to 100 gram range, so it doesn't take many meals at all to get up to 150 grams.

    That's much harder to say. I've had females by 1400+ grams by the time they were a year old and others that were around 600 grams when I got them at a year old. With that wide of a window, you can imagine that putting a weight range on a 2 to 3 year old is even more difficult. Healthy body proportions on a well-cared for animal is the most important thing.

    You'll start out needing excuses like this to get more snakes. Those excuses gradually devolve into "because it's Thursday".
