Morelia adult sizes

What age \ size are Morelia considered to be adult? My oldest carpet is three years old, though she isn't my biggest, and to me she doesn't seem adult.

What age \ size do they start to get the big massive heads I see on older individuals?

Re: Morelia adult sizes

When they are ready to breed which would be around 3-4 years on average. My IJ male is about 2.5 years old and his head structure is really starting to thicken.

Re: Morelia adult sizes

I have a female IJ that is roughly around 5 pounds (2268 grams) and probably just over 5 feet in length. She's around 5 years of age. She could weigh more now but that's where she was last time I took weights.

I have a 14lb Carpet. She's a few years younger than MarvelFreaks. I didn't realize that they could be that heavy haha.

Not that i know of. Actually bought him form a pet store that had him labled as a Jungle Carpet female. So up until last year when i learn how to probe i thought he was a female. I was very shocked when the probe went in almost 9 scales on both sides.
