 Average adult size is 3.5-4 feet, but...

I believe this is extremely subjective. Most Royals on a regular feeding regimen will reach adulthood in three years. The length and weight of a group of individuals can vary quite a lot though. Some of the variables include, heredity, whether the animal is male or female, whether the animal has gone off food for any length of time, the quality of the prey being offered (mice vs rats) and the husbandry.

So... that being said. It could be anywhere from 2.5 - 5 ft. possibly larger. As I understand it, the calculated average adult length is 3.5-4 ft.

o rite thnks 4 tht id love to get a bp im 15 and i got a checkered garter about a week ago now and it’s taken me ages to persuade my parents in2 letting me get 1 they letme get it because it eats fish..they keep asking me what i want for christmas and i keep saying i dnt no..im going to try and persuade them in2 letting me get a bp! i’ll probably have to buy a freezer to put in the garage lol 4 the rats.
the problem is they said theres no way im gettin any more pets ;( so im going to have to work on this one real hard!

i was just wondering the length because i frt if it wasnt fully grown by the time i moved out it would be good so they cant go and say well its going 2 grow 5ft and your not having a 5ft snake!

I hope some of this made sense to u lol!

Most of it did but, to be honest with you, I have a difficult time reading some of your abbreviated forum vernacular.
