I would classify any python of breeding size to be adult. (But we often refer to out children's pythons as teenagers because they always seem to have their tails together ;-))
Most reptiles never really stop growing but slow dramatically in growth rate the bigger they get.
You might want to have a look at Rick Shines Care Sheet on the Herp Shop web site which shows the breeding sizes of Australian Snakes.
