How much does the average teen grow a year?

How much, in centimetres (and grams), does a ball python grow each year?

• Please list the answers like 1) they grow however many centimetres wider each year. 2) they grow however many centimetres longer each year. 3) they become however heavier each year. Just on average. If there is an average length for a ball python, there must be an average growth rate.

• Answer:

  There is no average length for a Ball Python, only a minimum and maximum which are 3 feet and 6 feet respectively. Of animals that have been charted, it is reasonable to expect them to grow a foot a year for the first 3 years. They on average gain about 50 grams a month in weight each month for the first year, but this figure is dependent largely on how much and how often you feed them. Large full grown ones way 10-12 pounds. After a year all bets are off, as you may own a small one that barely reaches 3 feet or a very big one that gets to 6. They grow slowly once they hit 4 years, some perhaps another 6-8 inches and others nothing noticeable. Your question is a lot like asking how big will my human baby be when he grows up? Well, he might be 5'3 or 6'7. The size of the parents in some help, but you can only say a male persons averages 5'10-5'11..Ball Pythons have a much wider size range, so I've ligven you the average figures, but it doesn't mean yours will follow them.
