There really is no way of knowing how old or young your snake is, weight and size counts for nothing really.

Size really isn't an indicator of age as individual corn snakes grow at different rates.

Mine is 6mths old and almost 2' long, whereas other people on the forum have corn snakes the same age that are under 1'.

As long as your snake is eating, drinking and shedding regularly, I wouldn't worry. I'd just presume the age you've been told is correct.
