When discribinng the growth rate of snakes most people speak in terms of years. I am always told the most rapid growth occurs during 1st two years then slows down. What about when a snake has been underfed for three years. There is a pet shop albino nelson that is from 2000. But it looks more like a yearling (priced like an adult LOL). If I buy it and feed it normal will it not grow much more because of its age? Or is the potential for growth more connected to a snake's current size? Thanks for your help
