How old is she?

[Streller]

I would love to be able to give you an estimate that was educated, but that's simply not possible. As you probably understand, there are SO many different variables when it comes to the growth of a snake. How often they were fed, what they were fed, their gender, their genes (not morph genes), the list goes on. The one thing I will say is that I hope the person that you got your python from wasn't a breeder, because I would expect them to give you the date that the snake hatched, or at least when the clutch was laid, etc., don't really think that's an unreasonable expectation. But I'll guess that the person you got it from was just a friend who was looking to sell their python?

If I had to guess and go out on a limb, I'd say maybe 5-6 months old is a good age to put on your python, but I'm even skeptical of putting this on because of the copious varaibles.

The one thing I will recommend is if you succumb to the addition and expand your collection of these wonderful animals, try a reputable breeder who can give you details on the animal you're buying such as age, as well as proof that they're established feeders, etc. I know feeding wasn't mentioned as a problem, it's always good to give a reminder to new keepers who may be looking to expand in the future.

I hope this helped, and I wish you all the best with your new friend. Maybe get us some pictures of her?
