Determining the age of my corn snake

So I got Leo almost three weeks ago and I have tried to determine his age. He is about 18" and weighs 16 grams. I am guessing he is between the three/four month age? I am guessing this because my female Bella is roughly 18" as well and weighs 31 grams and the reptile store owner said she was 6 months old. Link to their photos, that might help?
 
Useless. They all grow at very different paces, there is little consistency. 3-4 months is reasonable for 16 grams. I wish I knew exactly how old mine are.
 
Unfortunately, Dan is right. We can't give a birthday. Thats why when you see us referring to a snake it gets referred to as '09 or '10. So if you didn't buy from a breeder that could tell you there is no way of knowing.

An example for you. Right now I have 3 babies from last year. 2 are about 60 grams the other is 40 grams. The 40 grammer (lol) is a month and a half older than the other 2. Now I bred the 2 and I got the other from a breeder on here so I do know their exact hatch date.
 
Thanks for the responses, it's not a big deal but I am just going to gestimate his age. I wanted a little older female because I know it takes longer for females to sexually mature.
