hi there,
im hopeing that someone can help me, i got my snake Grace for a very good pet shop six weeks ago but the owner could not tell me how old my snake is, the reason she could not tell me is because she was an unwanted pet, what im asking is, is there a way of telling how old she is, she takes two pinkies with ease and is about 25inch or 2ft 2,
thank you for your help.

Sounds about a yearling maybe a bit older.
maybe time to move up to a fuzzy once a week as he's getting a bit big for pinkies if he takes them easily.

You can never tell with corn snakes as they don't grow like we do, they grow depending on how often they eat and what diet they've been eating - rat pups have more fat and build muscle quicker but don't have as much calcium as mice do.

Hello Rob

Have you got a picture? It would still be a guesstimate from us, but it might help you gauge it better.

I think you'll never know exactly, without knowing the history, but we can maybe get a near enough guess

hi, sounds the same size as my snake who is 8 months old. Like you`ve already been told, they grow at differnt rates but this could be a close guess.
