I should know this really, but not sure so thought i'd throw it out to you guys
I'm asking because of a few comments regarding Fea's size..48" that's a 7" increase in 7 weeks.
Fea is supposed to be a Common Mexican Boa (Sonoran) and it really makes little difference, but i'm curious

What age could you expect a snake to be fully grown?

They say about 3 years to max out but I've heard they never stop growing it just slows right down the older they get. I would expect Fea to max out at about 6-7 feet the way he is growing but that is just a guess.
