Not sure at a year and a half but my diamonds are between 4 - 6 yr old and there around 6.5ft. I'm guessing they will grow a simular size to a bredli or maybe smaller and my yearling bredli would be around 65cm (sorry not much help)

Hi Johan.

My male 1 1/4 yo Diamond Python is 80-90cm long and about the thickness of a whiteboard marker (1.5cm). My female (now 3yo) was a bit longer and thicker at the same age.

Hope that helps,
Nic

Also depends on your feeding regime.
How often and how much are you feeding it?

Wow, my one year old is just on 1 metre long and maybe about the width of a 20 cent piece. I don't think I over feed him either, he gets a velvet rat every 10 - 12 days.

Hi Johan,

Here's a couple of pics of my male 2 months ago. The rat he is eating in the first picture is a smallish 'small rat'.

Are you worried that yours is too big or too small?

Cheers,
Nic
