Yes, I DO know all about that, many times over!Originally Posted by Snagrio
Oh that's a relief. Someone in another reptile group showed theirs at what they thought was around the same age as mine and it was huge, though they evidently misremembered when the pic was taken so the snake was undoubtedly older. Also that's on me for trusting a 10 second Google search.
Thanks for easing my worries. You know how it is when there's a new snake in the house.
It's also possible that others got snakes that they only thought were hatchlings, or were told that, when in fact, they were a bit older. I've raised quite a few clutches of corn snakes, & some won't even eat, or at least not reliably, for a couple weeks- & even then, only very small pinkies. They can take time to "get going" strong. People buying a "baby snake" tend to think of it as just being hatched from the minute they take it home, lol. In their mind, that's the age they start from. News flash, it wasn't.
