I'm concerned Bella is getting a bit tubby; does anyone have a weight to length guide for corns so I can see if I'm overfeeding her? She weighs 43g but I haven't managed to get her to hold still long enough to measure her length yet

How old is she? Missy weighs 41g and is nearly 4 months old! Karma is 3 weeks younger and is shorter and skinnyer than Missy, so just goes to show the extreems of snake growth in individuals.
Your snake looks about the same size as Missy

Not sure how old she is devilsmistress but she's somewhere between eight months and a year. We got her at the beginning of May and her previous owner said he thought she was about four to six months old then, but to be honest I don't trust a word he says...

Thanks everyone. Phew!

She is lovely She's calmed down a lot since we got her; she used to be so so skittish but she's so much better now. She never rests or curls up in your hands though: she's always up for an invetigation and is scarily inquisitive. Luna, on the other hand, will curl up quite happily and snooze in your hands. Funny how even snakes can have different personalities

out of my three Mont will venture off on his own anywhere..hes not too bothered, Liberty will tie you up in knots while trying to go in every direction at once and little Edison will curl up really tightly around a finger or hand and happily stay there for a while until he decides he wants to contrict another finger

i didnt believe it when people said they have different personalities but they definately do
