I have heard of females reaching 7foot and bigger. Though not sure how reliable the source is.......

For some perspective:

My 9 year old female is about 6 foot, give or take an inch or two.

My 5 year old male is around 5.5 feet,

My 3-4 year old female is 5 foot Smile

They fully mature around the 7 year mark Smile

That is to completely mature, I have heard that this is when the head 'catches up with the body' as it sort of gets a bit left behind.

They are sexually active from around 2.5 years upwards, but personally I wouldn't breed until at least 3.5 years and at least 5 feet.

they ARE slow growing, and it is DEFINITELY NOT a good idea to try to power-feed to increase the growth,a degree of patience is required,but amply rewarded by having one of the most beautiful snakes on the planet. Smile

Hear, hear! They tend to go through growth spurts as well, where they seem to grow really fast in the space of about a month, then they don't put on much size for a while.
