Corn Snake Age Question
Some of you might think of me as kind of stupid for not asking the age from the breeder and not really remembering the name of the breeder that I got him from. But anyway my question is can you guys help me try and guestimate his age. He is about 12 and a half inchs longand not that big around. Here are some pictures of him to try and help. The first 2 pictures are both beside my 12inch long tank.

Re: Corn Snake Age Question
You can't really guess age by size due to some right out of the egg being larger than others. My corn was only 7grams at 2 months old.. I know some that weighted 15grams out of the egg.
@ Mykee... lol

Re: Corn Snake Age Question
I'd say it is less than a year old but older than 3-4 months. They grow a lot early on.

Re: Corn Snake Age Question
I would guess 6-12 months but without knowing his birth size or feed schedule we can only guess

Looks like he was probably born summer (or a little later) of 2011. My Okeetee I believe is slightly bigger and his birthday is coming up. I'll post a pic soon
