Unfortunately because all snakes grow at different rates and sizes a decent enough 'average' may be to much for some, and to little for another.
For example, Kelloggs and Crunchy Nut are both about 9.
Kelloggs is on XL mice, Crunchy is on mediums.
Obviously by going by that average then it would be large mice, but Crunchy has a lot of problems with mice that big, so...
It could be done by gathering the rough ages/length/girth and applying this into a scatter chart to get an average.
In fact I think this has been questioned before, my beverage induced mind is failing me.  |

Phil, nerd lol!
erm; I'm not sure. It says in my book most corns get around 5.3 - 5.7ft and are the rough thickness of two male adult fingers.
(probably a fat author)
But agree, that snakes grow and fatten up at different speeds.
Instead of average, how about calling it the "expected"? |

The problem there is that from the different corns that i've seen in the past, I'd say the average should be about 4ft.
There is a vast amount of snakes at the 3 1/2 foot mark compared to 5+ ft.
