Hi, i've got a 30cm hatchling and wandered roughly how old this would be. The records I received with purchase says it was first fed 27/5/09. I purchased 31/8/09. Just after a rough guide so I know when its a year old etc. Hope someone can help. Thanks

it's likely to have been offered it's first feed after it's first shed........ so approximately 7-10 days after hatching as a very rough guide

Thanks for that. Records show snake was fed 27/5 this is when they aquired snake but before that I dont know. Would you say at a guess the snake is possibly 4 months old (being 30cm) or would you say 3.

Most of the shop CF hatchlings tend to be late April early May snakes in general (by time they hatchand are shipped across you can add a week or two to their birthdays)

Well thanks for all your help. By going on whats been said, then I reckon 5 month old would be a good guess. 1st may to 1st september 09
