It's normal.

My "daddy" snow corn was 40 inches + at 12 months, and the offspring of his I know of are all much over two feet at 7 months. Some are bigger some are smaller

i think sapphire read 7feet instead of 7months. And to answer her question in the corn world, i am pretty sure males are larger then females

Yes, with corns the males are larger. And I believe the world record is just a little over 6 feet.

yes but you shouldnt measure the skins to find out how much they've grown coz its very inaccurate. you can get shorter lengths from newer sheds.They can srink in the heat or strech out of shape
