Is the a definent or close rough estimation on size to age?
for example
how old is a Diamond when its say 4 foot?
or a Stimson when its 3 foot?
Is the particular growth rate for any Australian python, i know food has something to do with it, but what about if the snake is never missing a meal? |

a year down the track and one is about a foot longer than the other.
so it really depends on food more than anything.
IMO anyway |

I was told rats are like steriods for snakes and I'd have to agree! She's taken off since she started on them. So I agree with the others, depends on food. | |
