Hello, I have an Albino Darwin Carpet Python at home. I'm unsure of the sex but he/she is doing really well. I was wondering about roughly how big they are at different ages of their life, as I feel like my guy is still quite small for his age. Mine is 3 years old. I used to feed him every fortnight but have been feeding him weekly for the past couple of months he feeds on 1 weaner rat. He has had quite a few sheds roughly 1 every 3ish months. I Have attached some pictures so you can see his size, I would say he is roughly 1 1/2 meters long but not very thick maybe about 1 1/2 Inches. What do you guys think?

Hi,
Nice little Albino you have there, to me he seems a little small (compared to my 4yo) but they grow at different rates depending on how much/often you feed them.
(copied this advice below from a well known member, so it's good advice)
Weigh him
Feed 20-30% of weight
Swiss/ quackenbush super mice sizes
Pinky mice 1-2g
Fuzzy mice 3-5g
Hopper mice 6-15g
Weaner mice 15-24g~
Adult mice 25-40g
Wistar rats sizes
(Anything lower than weaner should be replaced with mice of equivalent size)
Weaner 75-90g
Small 100-175g
Medium 175-200g
Large 200-350g
Jumbo 350g+
