Determining age & species

Posted by wesleyb on April 30, 2003 at 13:36:36:

I'm new to pythons, and recently purchased what I think is a Jungle Carpet (that's what the pet store said, and it resembles pictures I've seen of other carpet pythons, if not jungle carpets).

Q. How can I determine if mine is a Jungle Carpet vs other carpet species.

Next question - the snake I purchased is right around 4 foot long. What methods can I use to estimate the age of my snake?

Thanks!
