This may sound like a dumb question but how old does this ball python look?

That is my hand in the picture. I have a pretty average sized female hand lol.

Re: This may sound like a dumb question but how old does this ball python look?

It might be easier to tell from a picture where she isn't so coiled, but judging by width I would say that she looks close to the same size as my 3 month old male. Keep in mind, if you acquired her from a previous owner, or even a pet store, underfeeding can result in a snake that is older but small for its age. Assuming that she has been correctly fed her entire life my guess would be a few months. I am also going to assume you didn't get her from a breeder since you don't know her age. Some people will buy a snake from a pet store and very quickly decide that it isn't their cup of tea and off to the classifieds they go. All of the ball pythons I have ever seen in pet stores are very young. How long have you had her and what was the source you went through to get her?

Agree with Kiiarah. Definitely looks to only be a few months old. Maybe around 2-4 depends on how frequently she has been fed. Do you have any other pics? or where did you get her?

Snakes all grow at their own rate and some are born bigger or smaller than "average," so it's really hard to tell. But a a few months sounds about right for your ball python.
