Hey guys,

Unsure of the age of Cecil - Female Snow Corn,

Paperwork shows December, but the year is written so messy, that it could be Dec 2009 or Dec 2010

She is 1ft 5ins long

So is she 1 year 2 months or just 2 months, as my mate who has Anerythristic Motley, his is 6 months old, 1ft 9in long, and just started taking fuzzies also, he does feed her though 2 pinkies every 5 days which may compensate for the difference in size

any ideas?

Feeding/shedding charts given to me shows since December 2010, this could be because they only keep the last 2 months or because she is only two months.

She's shed once which was in December and chart does not show any further shedding
She was fed 1 pinky on weekly basis
And she took her first fuzzy yesterday in which took her 10 minutes from striking to her tongue flickering with her jaw re-aligned.

Any ideas as to the age?

I would say 2 months because she looks so tiny on your pic :)

She is still "see through" which as a young one they are until they get older, and she is 1ft 5 inches?

so one guy says 2 months, which maybe of some ppl confirmed, i'll take it as that

No way is she 1 year 2 months!!

If the paper work shows shedding since december 2010 then she will be a 2010 baby.

Managed to speak to someone who knows more about her and he has advised she is a dec 2010, and only 2 months old,

which means at 6 months old she will be tipping 2 ft

as my mates bought from same place at 6 months was just under 2ft

Just because your mates snake is 2ft doesn't mean yours will be the same.

They all grow at different rates, even snakes from the same clutch. I have 4 corns all roughly the same age and all are different lengths and weights.

They all grow at different rates but from experience, 2 ft is normally about the 8 month - 12 month period. And Lou is dead right, from a clutch of eggs one snake was 2ft at 5 months old, another one at 8 and another one at 12.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
