You can't estimate age on length alone. No two snakes will grow at the same pace. Some snakes will grow more in length at first whereas others may grow more in weight.
Most of the time females grow faster than males, because they generally get bigger, but that's not always the case.
For the most part, you can estimate the snake at 3-6 months. You'll never get an exact age unless you know when the snake was hatched, and you'll never really be able to narrow down the age to a month or two, until it's pretty much full grown. At that point, you'll just be able to say about 2 years or about 3 years old.
