Corn growth rate

[Brandon.O]

I dont know if this is normal, my guess is yes, but my baby corn snake is growing at an amazing rate, she was born july 27th and her first shed was 14 inches long, her second was 19 inches long and her last shed (last night) was 22 inches long :shock: !! Is it just me or is she growing a little fast ??

Ohh and i also measured roxy and now she is about 23 inches long, but i odnt know how acurite it is becuase i couldent get her to stay still ! After they shed is the best time to measure them.So after her next one i should get a nice acu rite measurement.

Are you measuring the snake or the shed? If the shed, you can't go by that as it's not accurate.

I measured the shed,how come its not accurate ?

Im goin to go measure ruby right now.(not the shed)

[sk8er4life]

the shed can be stretched, can be twisted, and a couple other ways that make it accurate.

Ok i think i got a pretty good measurement on the snake, i measured her and she is about 18 inches maybe longer, its so hard to keep her striaght and i cant lay her down on the floor,letting her crawl and put the tape measure above her like i do with roxy, she is way to quick and i know if i put her down i would never see her again.

But man that last shed BIG.

Yeah, it would be nice if you could go by the shed - and easier.

You could use this Snake Measurer program that's what I use.

Neat looking program, I'm going to try it next time I take pictures. Now if only I could get Butters to fit in the picture and not be coiled up or moving...
