How fast?

[Dragon_Slave]

I've been reading care sheet after care sheet and cannot find the answer to my question.

How fast does a corn snake grow? I'll be getting a striped amel hatchling on January 6th from SMR (http://www.cornsnake.net) and was wondering how long it takes them to reach a good size? Adult size? Thanks!

Well we got ours from SMR about 3 months ago, and she is about 2ft long now. But it will probably take about 1, 1.5-2 yrs to reach "adult size". I'm not sure if that is right. But I'm sure someone will be able to answer you with a little more confidence.

LOL~
you can't find an answer to that question....
there are several reasons for this
1) it depends on how much food you're giving the snake (as in how much prey items)
2) it depends on how frequent you're feeding it (every 4 days? every 7 days? every 10 days)
3) it also depends on how fast your snake grows. If I fed two different snakes at the same time, same amount, at the same frequency....the two will still not grow the same amount...
with just these variables...you'll never get a definate answer. You might get a rough idea....but still it is not 100% true.

All I know for sure is that Don has some awsome animals and his service quality is top notch~ so all I can tell you is that you can't really go wrong with his animals~

Also roughtly a corn snake will reach adulthood at age 2-3....some even earlier and some later...all depends on how you feed it~

Thank You Sapphire and Simon!

No wonder I couldn't find an answer to my question! It doesn't exist! Don't I feel dumb? Lol. Thanks for your help though guys.

I put my snake on hold, got one of the last remaining striped amels from Don. He was very nice and a great person to do business with. :)
