I got my Carolina Corn snake just over two weeks ago, but I didn't have a set of scales until today. But when I weighed her she was only 10 grams.
She is almost 4 months old and about a foot and two inches long.

Is 10 grams an OK weight?

I feed her one pinkie a week (it still leaves a large lump in her though). I just thought I would check that she's not under weight or anything.

10g may seem very light, but if your corn is adhering roughly to this (see Stapey's image about half way down) then she is bang on

its probably down to the fast they were small babies, one of my babies last year was 8g the day he hatched, hes a big lad now at only a year old.

There is a vague average, but as long as its eating, it doesnt really matter that much.
