How old is Ruby?

Old and Getting Older
With no owner history to go on it's difficult for me to arrive at Ruby's age. She weighs 18 grms and is 18 inches long, and a very ropey photo can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/5bsw48.

Her previous owner claims to have lost her for 4 weeks, so she was clearly not being fed for that time. She appears in great health, and I would have put her at around 7 to 8 months. She's eaten 6 2.5 grm pinkies since I've had her, 2 at a time, and she eats with no problems. She's calm but inquisitive and is in great condition (wet nose, glossy coat, rolls over on command etc.)

The bit in parentheses was a joke.

Does anyone have a more educated opinion?
 
All you can know for sure is she's a 2007. My 2007's range from 11 grams to 27 grams. She probably wasn't hatched before June, which I say just because right now is when people's eggs generally start hatching.
 
I have the same problem with my amel. I have no idea how old she is. After looking at hundreds of snake pictures, I have to agree with Nanci. Snakes hatched in '07 are all around Ruby's size.
