Default Corn snake weights

Just wondered if there were any charts with average weights for corns. I've just weighed my two and one is coming out at 215g and the other 140g. The larger is about 2ft 6in long and the smaller about 3" shorter. They are both feeding (just had a small mouse each), but often seem to be looking for food between feeds - if they are underweight I would like to know and perhaps decrease the time between feeds. They do not appear to be thin, are healthy and active. Just want to check this as they are my first corns. I had a Royal many years ago, whole different kettle of fish!

I got them recently, but didn't get a lot of information about ages etc. as the lad was off to army basic training so picked them up in a bit of a hurry. By the way the forums are great - I've already seen at least two other species of snake that I want to add to my collection in the future.

Thanks, I was only going on what the guy had previously been feeding them, and the girth at the widest point (will try to get some pics when my own computer is fixed - can't download on my daughters machine).

Will get some of the larger sized mice for the next feeds (fed this evening so will be next week). This is probably why they seem to bee looking for more food after their feed.
