COrn snakes are slim bodied and many dont know how slim they should actually be. If you want to post a pic on this thread lets have a look and we can reassure you or advise you.

A healthy cornsnake has a body shape like a loaf of bread, a flat bottom straight sides and a curve over the top, a skinny snake is toblerone shaped (a fat one is round like a sausage)

she looks a perfect size, its not really possible to sex from the tail without a comparison, does your local reptile shop probe them at all, my local one didn't but the other (nearly 20 miles away) does, so i took harry and he was most definately a male, the poor girl nearly lost her probe. The other we believe to be a female but the only sure fire way is to see if she ever lays any eggs (which she's far too young to do just yet) It is true females have slightly shorter tails than the boys, but without the two together and even if they were, it would be a guessing game.

It gets me wondering just how many people keep overweight snakes just because they don't realise how a corn should look.

I am sure that there are pleanty out there.
