Growth rate of older snakes.

[marvelfreak]

This was brought up in another thread and it got me thinking. For anyone with snakes ten years old older. How often does your snake shed? Some say they never stop growing, but i think they reach there maximum size a stop.

I have a Jungle Carpet that's just shy of 12 years old. After looking at my records i noticed she has only shed about once every 4 to 5 month's for the last couple years. When i measure her she hasn't grown maybe a 1/4 a inch in over two years if that.

So i am curious about what other think about if they keep always growing or do the top out at some point? I really like to hear what others have noticed with there old animals. For the record my big Jungle is 8'4" long and weighs 15.5 lbs. She has gain about half a pound in 18 months.
