Usually around the 3 years/5-6 foot mark.

get a mate for the spotted.
Next year you can get a male diamond and when the girl is ready the boy will also be ready.

ok cool never know if my female spotted python don't eat soon i might end up lossing her i might have to think about the vet force feeding her

[sxereturn]

Haha, she'd be able to go a minimum of 6 months, closer to a year.

I have a friend who had an Olive Python, she was -very- fat when he got her, didn't feed her for well over 12 months, she got slim, but did have bags of skin hanging of her or anything.

well shes getting quite thin now she has loss skin and i can feel her back bone not much when she sritches out but when she bends a bit shes gone without food now for 3 and half to 4 months without food

spotted..... please take the little one to the vet. People think I am obsessed with flagulettes, but it is soooooo common in our herps it's not funny, even healthy looking snakes can have it but if they eat enough then you would never know untill you got a fecal exam at the vet.If the snake IS loosing condition in those few months well something is causing it and these parasites called flagulettes cause the snake to feel sick and not want to eat, just like you or I wouldn't want to eat when we are really sick. So buy the Diamond and breed them and spent the next year getting the little spotted back in good health!!! Just my opinion.

better to be safe then sorry, especially if your dealing with something as precious as a snake

[africancichlidau]

To the vet with it methinks!

[Adam]

Yep as the above 2 people have said.......... See you when you get back from the vet.
