Can I tell how old it is?

[coferj]

Hey guys/gals. I was wondering if there is any way to tell how old my bci is? I know the size isn't a real good determination b/c I'm not sure how often it was fed before I got it. TIA

Very hard to tell without actually getting ahold of the breeders it came from.

The only other thing I can reccomend is to chop it in half and count the rings like you do for aging trees.



(disclaimer- Don't do that, it would be bad for snakie....)

count the dorsal saddles, then times the number of ventral scales, then divide the midbody scale count, then minus the amount of widows peaks, and then you cut the snake in half and add the number of rings and that should give you the age of your snake give or take a little [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Your all whacked. It's so easy to find out the age of an animal. Just ask the Pet psychic Lady. She knows all!!! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

You forgot to add to that, the sum of all the imaginary numbers raised to the power of pi.

Besides, there really is an easy way to determine the age of a snake. Just ask. Chances are, if the snake isn't a female, you should get an accurate answer.
