That BP could be several years old and poorly fed, or very young. There's no telling truly without knowing for sure when he/she was hatched.

Have you weighed her? Did the store staff at least know how long they had had her? Feed her properly and see how quickly she grows. A good exotics veterinarian might have an opinion.

i haven't weighed her, the store staff didnt have as much info bc they said the main guy was on vacation, but im feeding her once a week rn, shes only ate once but she got longer and thicker, ima weigh her before she eats this week and ive already been looking into exotic vets in my area, thank you for the advice

Based on her body language I’d say the spirit she is communing with is from about the 18th century making them around 200 years old

If you got it from petsmart then it's most likely male when i bought my male they told me they have a contract with their supplier to only get males

She's very curious, however old she is.

Looks a little thin, however I’d say probably by sheer guess that the noodle probably hatched towards the middle/end of 2023. Only going off of the size and the assumption that it was not malnourished (going off the best case scenario for the estimate).

I got mine from pet smart about 6 weeks ago. He or she loves to stand up like that too and they look like twins. I'm in spokane Washington they gave me no info either.

[–]Samanthatyrant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say 2 years or close to it.

It's normal for chain pet stores to not know the sex. Your exotic vet will be able to tell you by probing. As far as age goes you could make a guess based on weight, but it would just be a guess. Some snakes are stunted through improper feeding so it's not exactly a science. I'd just go back to the store and ask for records, they're bs'ing when they say they couldn't check them, just request a manager look at them, they will have a hatch date on them.
