Just wondering is there anyway of finding out a corns hatch / dob date?
When I bought George no info on this was given. Only info on first shed and first two feeds.

Thanks

Well to my knowledge corn snake hatchlings shed their first skin quite fast, I'd say one or two weeks after they are born. So with that date, you can guess quite accurately! But let's wait for approval :p

Maybe not 'Date' but definitely month! I would do as Criminal Nails suggested and pick a date approx 2 weeks before the shed date. In a few months the day becomes irrelevant and then by that time there will be CB13 hatchlings and so yours becomes a CB12. Sometimes getting a year of birth can be tricky lol

My baby corns all shed a week after they hatched, but as others have said, it can be up to two weeks. The first feed should only be a few days after the shed. Take off a week or two from the shed date and pick a date you like around that time. Unless the day of birth/hatch was given to me, mine are all born on the 27th of their month lol!

I would take two weeks off your first shed date because most hatchlings shed 7-14 days after hatching
