Re: how old is my snake?
with good care and barring no unforeseen illnesses, you should be able to keep her around for another 5 - 10 years, possibly more. I had a wandering that was caught as an adult and I had her for 7 years. Probably would have had her for longer if I hadn't gotten some bad fish from the local store (that's another story...
 ) |

Like pointed out, it's impossible to tell with any kind of accuracy. Her growth rate and the fact that she has given birth can at best tell you how old she has to be at least. 2 inches in as many years suggests that she was an adult that had already started to slow down its growth rate, plus they usually reach sexual maturity at 2 or 3. Add the years and she's probably no less than five years old. How much more, is impossible to know. If my conclusion is flawed, please jump in.
