at what stage can you call a corn an adult? mine is around 14 months old and is 5ft long. is she now an adult?
also, should i feed her 2 adult mice twice a week or just 1 once a week?

My goodness, what have you been FEEDING her?

I have an 18-month-old corn who is just pipping three and a half feet, and I thought he was huge.

If she's five feet long, I'd only feed her one mouse once a week if that - if you intend to breed her. If not, I would personally be inclined to drop it to one mouse once every two weeks, as it sounds like she MIGHT have been power-fed to this point.

I agree, thats very big for a corn that age. I'd definately go slower with the feeding or youre going to hit health problems. Any pics?

it would take more than 2 fuzzies twice a week to get a 5ft corn in 14 months, surely it's not eating fuzzies now.......is it???
(are you sure its not a burm in disguise??)
