Resolved Question By the size of this snake, what sort of age would you say it was? I got a new snake, another ball python. I'm not sure how old it is though. I know it's a male, and it's about just coming up 3 feet, like the old ball python, but that was a female and was pretty much dead. I had no idea what was wrong with it. The new ball python is about 2inches wide, and I haven't weighed it yet. I'm not sure how old this one is. I know you can't get a exact idea of the age, but the size must give a vague indication.
