How quickly do snakes grow?

Like people, snakes grow quickly until they reach maturity, which can take one to nine years; however, their growth, though much slowed after maturity, never stops. It's a phenomenon known as indeterminate growth. Depending on the species, snakes can live from four to more than 25 years.

Do snakes grow to the size of their tank?

Snakes will grow in size regardless of their habitat, as long as they have access to the correct diet and climate. However, some snakes exhibit stress when in a tank that is too large or too small. A snake's tank size should be increased as it grows.
