Question

How can you tell how old a python is?

Angel Alvarado, LVT · Accepted Answer

Unless you know the hatch date, determining age is very difficult. There are growth charts but these can be inaccurate since each snake will feed and develop differently. Your best chance would be to contact the store or breeder or have Fred examined by a veterinarian experienced in treating reptiles.
