((Hanging head in shame)) Well, they WERE making light of her question. ((Kicking at the ground)) I didn't really MEAN it. ((Sniff))

Re: how old is my snake?
There really is no sure way to tell the age of an adult wild caught snake. There are so many factors contributing to their growth rate. Sorry. Originally Posted by Snake lover 3-25

Re: how old is my snake?
with good care and barring no unforeseen illnesses, you should be able to keep her around for another 5 - 10 years, possibly more. I had a wandering that was caught as an adult and I had her for 7 years. Probably would have had her for longer if I hadn't gotten some bad fish from the local store (that's another story...
)

Sorry about all the joking before. Originally Posted by Snake lover 3-25

Her growth rate and the fact that she has given birth can at best tell you how old she has to be at least. 2 inches in as many years suggests that she was an adult that had already started to slow down its growth rate, plus they usually reach sexual maturity at 2 or 3. Add the years and she's probably no less than five years old. How much more, is impossible to know.
If my conclusion is flawed, please jump in.
