How long is a snake a juvenile?

I know it probably differs from snake to snake, but I'm really curious when you can consider a snake like a preteen and not a juvenile anymore haha. I guess I'm really interested in knowing to when it comes to BRB's because juveniles are more sensitive then adults…Sorry for the vague question everyone.

I say between one and three years of age. By three most snake are hitting sexual maturity.

It's subjective, there's no concrete definition. I just use it to mean an animal that hasn't hit sexual maturity.
