Default Corn Morph Sizes

This may sound like a dumb question but are some morphs likely to get bigger than others. For example a Normal is said to reach around 4ft, but ive heard people say that Ghosts normally get bigger and have different characteristics e.g. bigger, better feeder etc.

Thanks for any help, just curious!!

my male normal was 5.5ft long and still growing yet my ghost was alot smaller both fed the same.

but i am no expert!

i have known adults from 2.5 feet and upto 6, even heard rumours of 8 foot corns.. which i think its probably more than a myth.
there isnt really a great deal of difference in morph sizes..

I bet those 8-foot corns were "Anerythristics"... namely, that they were actually misidentified Grey Rat snakes

I've never heard of any verified morph-based size difference. I got told by a pet shop that snows don't get as big, but I've seen plenty of 'normal sized' adult snows, ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 feet in length.

Creamsicle/Rootbeer hatchlings do tend to be larger if their parents have recent Emoryi content - but the clutch sizes are smaller, too. This is because they're hybrids, and Emoryis lay larger eggs but less of them.

I have a 06 snow corn that is already 3ft. I'm guessing she is going to be one of the bigger corns.
