Please be sure to read over the excellent Ball Python Care Sheet located on this site.

Good luck with your new buddy, and may you both enjoy many happy years together.
yeah, crazy huh?

i wasn't asking for life expectancy, i was asking for an estimate on the age of my individual, based on size. i'm familiar with the care sheet. thanks for the encouraging words.
