Question Snake Ages and Lengths and Weights

Hi everybody,

Just a question in relation to age, weight and length. I know there will be lots of different answers out there, hence why I'm asking the question, to get some sort of average.

I know every snake is different, hence, the type of snake I'm interested are Coastal and/or Darwin Carpets.

What I want to know is: WHAT ARE THE AVERAGE WEIGHT AND LENGTHS AT AGE ONE, AGE TWO, AGE THREE AND AGE FOUR AND ANYTHING FROM AGE FIVE AND UP?

Any and all input would be great.

Thanks,
Settle

i think its about feeding technique.......so size will vary to age

some feed 1x pr wk.........others every 3-5 days
depends on what results your after

maybe better off...saying...by weekly feeding or by other?
im new at the snake thing.......thats the way i see it

My yearling's about 90cm, no idea what she weighs. However, she was a holdback due to not eating too well when she was a hatchie, so she's likely on the small side for her age.

Coastals should be fully grown at about three or four, and the average is about three metres, though some stay around two and a half and some get up to three and a half.

Thanks guys and girls. It's just that someone asked me the other day the stat's on snakes at various ages and it depends on lots of things, but I wanted a rough average on things.

Anymore info would be great from current snakes weight and ages and lengths (from hatchlings to adults)...especailly from snake lovers that keep constant records on their snakes.
