Hi,I know that this has been asked many times before, but i would just like you to look at the below images and tell me if my corn snake appears to be of the correct size and weight. She is approx 14 months old, 2'8", i don't know the weight as have no digital scales. She is active and appears healthy. I just wanted to double check with experienced people like yourselves that she is of the corrects size and weight. Thanks.

Haha. I love this because this is exactly what people say to mothers who are panicking their babies are the right weight etc ;) I think it's a good mantra!

I can't see the pictures either. The best way to tell if a corn snake is over/under weight is to look at the shape of them. Imagine a cross section from the middle of them. If it is like an upside down 'U' or a loaf of bread then they are a healthy weight. If they are like an 'O' they are overweight, if they are like a triangle then they are underweight.
As Donnie said, all snakes are different and as long as your snake is healthy and the correct shape then whatever size she is will be right for her. |
