I understand that all cornsnakes vary in size and wieght. But is there a rough guide for estimating the age of them? for example i have read posts that say x has a 10 month old corn that is 2 ft in length and another that says 12 month old corn 4ft in length! just a wee bit confusing cos these seem extreme differences |

I think the simple answer is you can't, there is no set rule on ageing a snake. |

i'v got a 10 year old and an 8 year old ones over 5 foot and ones about 3foot they feed differently before i had them. also have a 5yr old over 5 foot again so it can vary a lot due to diet! |

Wow, 2ft is a lot for a 10month corn :0
Generally, from what snake's I've had they are about a 1ft in hatching, 2ft when a yearling and from there there is no real way to tell...
Of course, this can vary with food intake. |

i can't ever imagine a corn snake growing to 4 foot at 12 months old. i have no idea how you age them as all grow differently and it must all depend on there food intake etc.
my annery is over 2 years and she is about 3 foot. but my blizzard is half that age and about 2 foot long. |
