    Even with a photo, no one can give you an exact age of a snake*...they don't start off exactly equal, nor do they grow at the same rate due to temperature & feeding
    differences. Furthermore, their sheds stretch some...the actual snake is never as long as their shed. Since most hatchling BPs are 10-12" long, I'd guess yours might
    be a year old or under, but again, some ppl deliberately underfeed snakes they plan to sell so they stay small & don't outgrow their cage, so who knows? Best idea is
    to buy from a reliable breeder & they'll tell you the hatch date & give you a feeding record, & so on.

    *Unless they see it born or hatched out (depending on the species).
