Hello. I just bought a eastern ribbon snake. I recently decided that it is a male because it has a long tail. The snake is 2 feet long, I was wondering about how old it is? Also right now it is like 3/4 the thickness of my index finger. I was wondering how thick I can expect the snake to get? I just started feeding it pinkies. Lastly I have it in some coconut substrate and every time it feeds it swallows some "dirt", is this dangerous? Lastly how long can I expect it to live? I am new to the forums and have a lot of questions and I would like to thank you all beforehand. Thank you!
