Im a little confused, I have interest in a snake that is 5 years old and I asked his length they told me he is 114cm or 45in. Isn't that a bit small for a snake this old?

| my 8 yr old isn't much bigger due to the previous owners feeding small mice to it for most of its life. |

So this could be a normal size? It just seemed weird as I have looked at other snakes of a similair age that are far bigger. Im just concerned that something is wrong.

| Its just under 4ft long so its probably only just under "average", it also may be that it has been a little underfed so hasn't grew as large as it potentially could have. |

| Usually snakes that have been underfed have a growth spurt, as I discovered. but I doubt he'd get to 5ft, probably 4ft something if fed the biggest prey item he can take OK. |

I asked what he was being fed and they just said small adult mice, would that be too little for him then? Im sorry I ask so many questions.

| Without seeing the snake it is hard to tell, but at that age i would have thought he should have been on bigger mice. |

If the age is right its most likely that he is and has been underfed. |

What morph is it? I think someone is doing a study on how new morphs are smaller than the older and more classic corns. If I find it I will link.
My snake is just under 4ft, she is a problem feeder but I would certainly never say she was underfed.
Some snakes just don't grow as big as others, its nothing to worry about. I would have though that the snake would be in large mice though. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Yep I also have Xena who didnt feed from birth to the age of seven months and she is undersized but defo not underfed now lol jeez if i gave her half the chance she would be eating me out of house and home lol
Editted to add I only fed her two days ago and she is on the prowl now as we speak.
What I am saying is maybe there is a reason he is a bit on the small side. Xena should be on hoppers by now but because of her start she is still on small fuzzes. |

Same as my Blaze, he's on mediums and is CB08, september. Steve mate where abouts you if you dont mind me asking?
I'll go find a link of a majority of the adult corns owned by keepers on here for variation.

Im so glad there is nothing to worry about, he is a butter motley. He must just be a small snake or something then, I just needed some reassurance. Thanks.
