| I understand that all cornsnakes vary in size and wieght. But is there a rough guide for estimating the age of them? for example i have read posts that say x has a 10 month old corn that is 2 ft in length and another that says 12 month old corn 4ft in length! just a wee bit confusing cos these seem extreme differences |

1.0.0 vanishing stripe unknown - Marley
1.0.0 hogg island boa - Iggy
0.1.0 hogg island boa - Luna
0.1.0 royal python - Buttons!
1.0.0 royal python 66% het albino - Steve
0.1.0 leopard gecko - Sheila

i can't ever imagine a corn snake growing to 4 foot at 12 months old. i have no idea how you age them as all grow differently and it must all depend on there food intake etc.
my annery is over 2 years and she is about 3 foot. but my blizzard is half that age and about 2 foot long. |

| There's no real way of guessing snake age and don't listen to anyone that tells you to cut it in half and count the rings! |

Wow, 2ft is a lot for a 10month corn :0
Generally, from what snake's I've had they are about a 1ft in hatching, 2ft when a yearling and from there there is no real way to tell...
Of course, this can vary with food intake. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| I think the simple answer is you can't, there is no set rule on ageing a snake. |
