I have been told by the friend who gave me the female corn, that she no more than 16-18 months.....
shessss hugeeee if she is this age!!
the shop said he would think she 2-3 years old, my partner said my mate is lying, yet shes never lyed about anything lol, i had enough of the silly bickering about size and age of cuddles, i could do with a bit of advice, as im fed up of being in the middle.....
i dont really care how old she is as i loves her loads
but heres a pic, she is just over 3 and half foot, and ive not weighed her yet :))))

Ok, if you have a snake that is supposedly about 3yrs old....definitely older that 2yrs....about 3 and a half foot and weight 210g, would the age of the snake be wrong or is it underweight or ok?

ocelot - born august last year, 36" 241 grams

Shed skin stretches so You need to subtract part of the total length- I cant remember how much it is, maybe 10%? but I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong!

That is what Kellog is on GP, and he certainly isnt overweight but does still seem to be growing longer. He is fed every 10 days at the moment. Will it stay at that size of mouse and space of feed, or does it need upping at all?

and to visually monitor her weight you shouldn't be able to see skin between her scales..........and she should feel muscular rather than squishy  |

as above then, 2 regular a week, this will be easier for her to digest than one jumbo/XL. to keep her weight down maybe every few weeks offer her just one mouse, and use shedding as a good (and more natural) excuse to skip a feed BUT do monitor her weight andadjust feeding accordingly. my fully grown adult females are 350-550g on average |

my adult 4 year+ males are around 5ft and 750g and my female of the same age is around 550g.
i hope you don't mind but i would say s/he's a little bit porky..........for a 4ft snake..............what was the previous owner feeding her on and what's his/her diet now with you?
(really hope you're not offended!!) |
