Not sure of the averages. Way too many variables to keep track of. But here's one that's 16 months old and is 60 inches (5 feet). But slender. Like a milksnake, JCP's often put all their growth in to length (sometimes). Oh yeah, and all but the runtiest of JCP's can pretty much take adult mice right out of the egg. Or at the very least, fuzzy rats.
Take it easy...

hey, if your IR is eating frozen adult mice, i would switch to a rat about the same size as what shes eating now, probably a fuzzy rat. Rats are much better than mice

33 inches aint too bad for a yearling. if it's on rats that size will be a distant memory by next year.

My JCP is about 3ft and hes downin full size mice and small rat weanlings, sometimes he gets surplus gerbils to.. youd be surprised what they can eat and even though they are so slender mine has never refused a meal or had one that was to big.. I just love how he eats upside down hanging from the tree branches..

When I see a big buldge in carpets, it's a good thing. Carpets can take big meals, and there are no ill effects from larger meals as long as you space them accordingly. the 'appropriate sized meal' is larger for carpets than other snakes of similar size.
