Question

How many years old is a snake before it is considered an adult snake?

Answer 1

there's no specific age, it's all a matter of perception. When is a human considered an adult? when they can vote? when they can drink, when they act like one?

Around 2 or 3 years you could probably say the snake is an adult but again, this can change depending on a person's perception. it's just a title anyway, nothing really that effects anything in the scheme of owning your snake.

Answer 2

it depends more on size than age. if a snake is under fed it would be smaller at three years old than a normal fed snake.

Answer 3

Hello; that really depends on what you are going by. :)

If you are judging by sexual maturity (the age that they can safely breed); that is about 18 months old for a male, and 2-4 years old for a female, depending on the species.

If you are judging by how long it takes for their growth rate to decelerate (snakes grow rapidly for the first few years of their lives, but then it slows down quite a bit when they are adults, despite the fact that they grow their entire lives), it is 2-4 years of age. Again, depending on the species.

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject; please feel free to message me and I will be more than happy to assist you. :)

Good luck!
