QUESTION: Hi, I recently inherited a pet snake, but I don't know what kind she is...can you identify her from a pic??  Any help would be much appreciated.

ANSWER: That appears to be a children's or a spotted python. How old is she?

QUESTION: Hi Kevin...I should probably add that I have had her since december and she has shed three times already...how big will she get?

Answer
If she is already 6 feet and you do not know how old she is, there is no telling how big she will get. Children's or spotted pythons do not normally get that big. I certainly do not think it is one of the giant breeds (African rock, Amethystine, Burmese, etc...) Try feeding her at least every two weeks.
