    After she is full grown, it could be impossible to tell.
    What is her length and weight? But only an estimate can be made.

    ummm well i dont have a scale but shes about 2 or 2.5 feet long...not very fat though. I think she might be 7 months? I have a vague memory of someone telling me that was her age a while ago

    No, probably at least a year with that length.
    I wouldn't really know though. Weight helps a lot.

    Re: How old is she?

    Since all snakes grow at their own rates, it's nearly impossible to tell their age just by size. If you can get your snake weighed, in grams, and give us a good estimate of length we can put her age in a range for you, but that's probably about it.

    Re: How old is she?

    There is no way to tell age by weight or size. I have an 06 female Mojave that is 650 grams and just under 24" on the other side I have an 08 Female poss het snow that is the same size. I have an 04 male pastel thats 1500 grams then I have a 04 male Het Pied thats 850.

    There is no way to tell their age which is why record keeping is so important.

    Re: How old is she?

    Well, 1498g would be an adult for sure...but that's about all that could be said. As Ed stated, weights and sizes run the gambit based on the individual snake.

    But, more important than knowing exact age is keeping track of weight gain (and loss). That's the ticket to knowing the health and progress of your snake.
