Hey bigsnakegirl78, snakes have what is known as "indeterminate growth". So they never stop growing but once they reach maturity the growth rate slows down. It slows even more the older they get but never really ceases. Peace.

Re: Draco Update
I'm dubious on that, I've seen no proof of it and my ball python hasn't grown even half an inch in 5-6 years. He's almost 9 years old. Sheds do not necessarily indicate growth, either.

As far as an update, he is now taking both pinks from the tweezers and is now 20-21 grams. No shed yet but I should be expecting one soon. It's so hard to tell when he's in shed, he almost always looks milky in low light and looks normal in the sun, but I've had him shed despite that before.
