i went to weigh my nake as i was curious to see if she was at a weight where she could (but i wont just yet) breed. But when i went to get her out her tank was empty i have no idea how she got out but she did, i promptly found her in my sofa, the first thing i did was give her some water she drunk some right away i then warmed her up as she was cold.
i weighed her she weighs 320 grams and is just over 3' and just over a year old she has at the very least another year to wait plus we have no males which i have heard is a must.

I had a fright when looking for casper yesterday to weigh and feed her.

Seems she had gone back to her old ways of burying herself in the aspen...

320 grams at a year old does seem a bit much. Are you sure of her age?

You feed her Bi's??? No wonder shes so big!

In all seriousness, she is huge for her age, are you certain of her age? I have some just coming to a year old and they are no where near that size, and they aren't shy with their food!
It is best to wait till shes about 3 years old before breeding, to be on the safe side!

as i said im not planning just yet just on breeding i was just curious of her weight and as for her age she was tiny when i got her and that was a year ago, she is fed once a week now dont know why she is 'big' iv got nothing to compare to what age bracket roughly whould you put a snake of that size she was about 43cm when i got her and i was informed she was about 8 weeks old from my local reptile shop 'concrete jungle'

I have 3 corns all 09 born and none of them are 43 cms long yet so they deffinitely werent as young as you thought.
Are you sure they may not have been 8 months old?

Reggie is around 16 inches long and weighed 25 grams before his feed on friday.

Casper is around 12 - 13 inches long and weighed 19 grams at last feed.

My candycane which i got friday is around 10 inches long possibly even smaller but i havent had the chance to have a propper look or weigh him yet.

glad you managed to find her so quickly!
although i do wonder if she was older than you though she was when you first got her.. 300+g's and 3 foot in length isnt 'normal' for a year old snake..
