Hello, welcome! It depends on a couple factors such as feedings and such. But normally a few years.

Re: How long to a snake to reach adult size

Athms- Hope all is well. Good to see all the hondo enthusiasts here. Your snakes feeding schedule, prey size, environment, as well as genetic potential of a particular animal all effect growth rates. I would say they slow growth length wise after 3-5 years. If your interested in breeding remember the rule of 3's for females. 3 years old, 3ft in length, and at least 300grams. Take care and post some pics!
