Today at my local pet store they had a 4 year old red albino cornsnake it was very beutiful except for the fact it looked extremly powerfeed it was about 6-7inches thick and 5 and a half feet long this dosn't sound write for a corn i know there have been some cases of big ones but this guy seemed powerfeed what do you guys think?

You sure its a corn? Could it possibly be a hybrid? Maybe a Pine snake cross or something? I would like to see a picture of that guy!

My bicep is 4 1/2 inches across and 15 inch diameter, I could not imagine a corn that is larger around than my arm. I'd buy it just for the freak factor. I have been accused of powerfeeding but I never shorten length between feedings (7 days) only increase prey size, and I thought I had good growth with a yearling at 130 grams. If you got the size right that snake must weigh over 5 lbs

um today when i went to the pet store i asked the people how thick the snake was and i said was the corn powerfeed they took it out and evn measured it and it was olny 3 and half inches. but it looked to big for a cornsnake and i got confused between cm and inches lol so it's really olny 3 and ahalf but it still looks to big for corn is thatpowerfeed or just big

That is still huge!!! And that's diameter and not circumference? Even I would say that's overfed!!
