I've noticed quite a few people on here talking about weighing corn snakes!
What should the weights be of a corn snake all through life because I have a variety of ages?. I am particularly interested because i've just found my escapee who was on the run for nine months, just to see if she's under weight or okay!
Thanks Guys!<3 |

Second that my two are both basically the same age (within a month) and very different in length and weight |

Heres the most recent, just after he was weighed.
As you can see he still has the nice bread shape and isn't chubby...just big XD
My wrist is all bent from trying to hold him up :P

My female is 500g at 5yrs old
My male is 1100g at 4yrs old but he's a freak in regards to size. |

Some are just built differently too! To be honest in my opinion, anything over 650g is on the large size for an adult, no matter what the length. That's one big snake! I have a full grown adult who was 613g when I got him, and he needed to lose a bit of weight, and is now a very healhty looking 550g :) |

I'm no expert but i think it differs with every snake really :) i think it's more to do with the shape of them, ie round = overweight, breadloaf = good weight, triangular = underweight. Sure someone with more experience will be able to answer a bit better!
Nice to hear you found your snake. Mines just went missing so this gives me hope! |
