size

Hi everyone,

what size would you expect a 9 month old coastal to be, just wondering cos this is my first and I dont know how quickly I should expect her to grow. Also what size/age do these titles match such as juvenile, sub adult and adult.

Thanks for all your help

Carly

Neonate (just hatched - 1st shed at 10 days)
Hatchling (after 1st shed - 3 months)
Juvenile(3 months - 11 months)
Yearling (12 - 24 months)
Sub adult (24 - 36 months)
Adult (3 years &/or breedable)

Thats my opinion anyways...

my hypomelanistic coastal carpet is about 6 months old and at last measuring day being 28-9-03 it was 56cm, and the rest im not really sure on.

Thanks for the reply's last measurement was about a month ago and was almost 80cm. Is measuring the shed skin accurate it seems bigger than the snake.

Thanks again

Carly

i think its 20% bigger due to the stretching of the skin during the shed

I have a pretty good program on my site for accurately measuring snakes that may help.Here is a link...

yep, monty's shed was about a foot longer than him too! I measured him on the swingset when he was fully stretched out then remeasured the swingset!

Does anyone know who long a 2year old Mac should be?

 

[Fangs]

My Mac is 2.3mtrs.But that is only cause I power feed...

 

[Magpie]

Mine is 3YO and only 7cm, but I only feed twice a year....

 

[Gregory]

Mine's only 45cm long but it's as thick as a Thermos.

Just like mine Greg, we must have a similar diet

I feel better now it seems as though my coastal is similar in size to those of you that have replied thanks

whats a mac?

 

[Fuscus]

A mac is a type of raincoat.
Oh, and is also the short name for the Eastern spotted python Antaresia maculosa , one of the smaller Australian pythons and generally considered a good beginners python.

And is anyone going to provide a sensible answer to the size of a mac question? My guess is it should be about 70 cm long.
