after discussing my snake I have new doubt to believe my snake Fofo maybe older than first thought? She is just over 3' and weigh 320g and eats once a week. She was 43cm when we brought her a year ago. if you know any weigh and/or lengh charts to give a rough idea of age, or is it that she is just mega big for her age of what we though is to be 1 year old? (14 months-ish) |

I fed Snickers twice weekly for about three weeks and then went back to once a week feeds. I did it only because she was so skinny for being so long. It put a bit of mass on her so now she looks normal for her length...well closer.[quote]Originally posted by SexyBear77

Twice weekly feeds is ALOT, may almost be bordering on power feeding, which could be the cause of her size. |

Does she have a smallish head in comparison to the rest of her?
Just a thought. |

i have definately only had her a year and i really dont believe she was one or definately 2 years old im thinking 43cm is a bit small for a yearling or am i wrong? its just not adding up if this helps i was feeding bi-weekly for the first six months i had her now its once a week
judging by the thread link about that puts my snake about 4 months old when i get her this maks her about 18 months old now does that make better sence |

I would say between 2 and 3, its the weight that is more telling, length can be less indicative, a young corn can grow really fast and be 3 foot in just over a year, but won't generally have the mass, whereas an older snake will. |

at that size, i'd guestimate she's around 3 years old |

When I bought Twilight he was 10 weeks old, weighed 8g and was 32cm long. He was the size of your baby by 18 weeks (45cm and 20g). He grows two inches between each shed (every 4-5 weeks). Saracen is I believe around 18 months old and is 116g and 30 inches long.
Take a look at this thread too where lots of people posted ages and weights of their snakes. As you can see, there's a lot of difference between individual snakes.

All my corns are 09 born and none of them are 43cm long. There isn't a specific length/ weight to age chart as all corns grow at different rates.
But if you bought her a year ago and she was 43cms long then i would say she is at the very least 2 years old. |
