Corn length

How big do you think a corn snake would be at about 3 1/2 years?

Depends on the snake.
Between 3-4 feet. Females are generally a bit bigger though.

Thanks, do you think I'll have to move it out of a ten gallon by then?

An adult between 2-3 ft I suggest putting in a 20 gallon, which would suit them permanently.

males tend to get bigger,they don't need much room mine thive in a 15qt tub/rack.

Okay, thanks everyone!

Most of my 3 year olds are in the 400+ gram range and living happily in 32 qts. Some longer than others but for the most part none are much over 4 foot in length.

I was about to say that males tend to be bigger with corns, but Greg beat me to it. I have a male that is almost 4 years old and he's a tad over 4ft.

Meant males oops.
Wow, that made me look dumb.

Was thinking about boas for some odd reason I guess. :weirdface

My corn must be a monster! This thread reminded me that I saved a shed from late June or early July and needed to measure it. So... 4'7" at the current age of 3 years and 2 months. A scale count by me and a probe by a vet say it's a girl! I guess I need to find her a man and make some babies!

EDIT: I pulled out my old charts for feeding, etc. and she hit 4 feet (47 3/4 inches actually) at the age of 16 months!

A shed will measure longer than the actual length of the snake.

Sheds typically measure 4" longer, with some being more some less, than the snake itself. :)

A more accurate way of measuring snake length is to find that software that measures them in a picture with something of known length with them...or to let them slither through something long and straight and see how much is left outside. :D

Those 4" longer are specific to corns ? at what age ?

Because I don´t know about specifics in corn shed, but I think it´s better to discount % than inches. IMO if you discount around 15% of the shed´s lenght you should probably get close to the snake´s actual lenght
