My 3 corns are all a similar age (born around June/July last year)and there is a marked difference in length and weight of each. Weight wise I have one at 40g,one at 69g and one at 92g and all are healthy,not skinny or obese.
Just like us humans they grow at different rates,so I wouldn't worry.  |

When it comes to snake sizes/ages it's a never ending story to the amount of differences there will be.
In my opinion, so long as it's healthy it doesn't matter what size it is. |

Yeah, they all grow at different rates. Lister is 9 months and about 30"-32". And he isn't overfed, he's fed two small mice every 2 weeks :P
Do you know the DoB? |

dont worry to much they all grow at different rates. and if there anything like mine they seem to go through massive growth spurts for a few months! :) |

dont be concerned snakes grow at different rates for different reasons, I have yearlings smaller than yours and they are perfectly healthy, granted I do have some larger but that just shows there is no scientific formula to snake growth. |

anyone with a 3' long one year old corn has been overfeeding it or is 'massaging their figures' :D |

if your snake looks healthy and eating shedding and pooing, its fine. Dont worry about other snakes all are different.
19 inches doesnt sound too bad for a year old snake. |
