Default what age do corn snakes continue growing till? whats the age & length of your corn?

I feel kind of silly asking this but just don't seem to be able to find the infoand am curious. I know that it will vary a certain amount from snake to snake but here goes,

What age on average do they continue growing till?

Our corn snake Noodle is 2 years old and a shed skin last week measuerd in at 57 inches.

She has been probed as female although after descibing some behaviours she exhibed round early summer the pet shop who probed her have offered to do so again, if she is a female she is getting on to be a rather large lady is our little Noodle.

How big is your corn snake, how old and what sex?
When have your corn snakes seemed to stop growing?

they never stop growing, they just slow down dramatically from 3 - 4 years old.

the shed skin will be considerably longer than the snake.

My corn snake has just turned 4, is male and is probably about 4 1/2 feet but I'm not sure. Snakes keep growing throughout their lives, but if I remember rightly corn snakes start slowing down in growth when they reach about 5 years old.

I made a 'corn snake' this morning... It was about 3 ft long... Took more than one flush to get it down... and I would agree that they never stop growing... Mine don't any way...

I have;
3 yr old female at 3'6
9 yr old male at 5'1
1 yr old male at 2'4
3 yr old male at 2'10 (was a reluctant feeder, altho feeding fine for that last year or so, still not much of 'grower')
got some 2 month olds that are 1 long (males and females)

As said before they continously grow but growth slows down at about 4yrs ish
