[DanTheReptileMan]

Just about to get a diamond python, was wondering how fast they grow?
like how long do they take to get to about 1 metre?
cant wait for mine to get big!
Thanx
ps. Sorry dont know if ive done this right, dont know if its in the right area lol, new to it and took me ages to figure out how to make a new post.

hmm... i'm not actually sure how old my diamond is but its about 50cm long and its fairly skinny. I'd say it would proble take about a year or 8 months or so to get to one meter... but im just a beginner really. i have seen one 3yr old and he was about 1 to 1.5m. lol hope that helps a bit... i just know that it will be a bit of a wait if you get it as a baby before it gets big can wait til mine gets big.
Here's a photo

mine is jus over a year and same size as frankii's bout 120-130cm, ive heard ppl say diamonds grow slower then a lot of otha pythons, mayb mine is just a machine but it seems to b growin real quick...Dan get ur diamond onto rats, ive found rats make a big difference to the growth rate of snakes...

i have two - one yearling at 1.3m and always wants more food, the other is a bit fussy with food and at about 80cm... I'm a bit worries the bigger one is growing too fast, nice to hear other people have them at about the same size for that age!

it depends on how you feed them, and if you cool them off each year, i belive not cooling them off, is a cause from 6 year syndrome, as if they dont get it, they have basically lived 12 years in six (approx)....mine is 2 and is 1.5, but she has a slight deformity, which i have mangaed to grow out nicely, i was sceptical about her food size at first, but she is doing well now. but back to the Q, a year for a meter, is a good bench mark....or 4 to 6 sheds in a year. thats more natural to go on, each snake is differant.....but be carefull to grow her to fast, as its not that good for them. hope this helps
