Didn't know such things exist as like all things individuals can grow at different rates. Most of the time weight is used rather than length, so it would be helpful if you could either provide more detail on what you are actually looking for by linking to examples, or state the reason, or what information you wish to glean form the data.

In general, most snakes reach the "average" length for the species by the end of their 4th year, with years two or three being the time of fastest growth rate (dependent on species)

Hi Malc,

I don't know if this website is reliable, but they offer this basic growth chart. I want to ensure that my snakes are growing "well", I'm an inexperienced keeper, so I'm ensuring I'm not messing up. As the snake's weight also relates to the size of the feeder, I don't want to be underfeeding or overfeeding them.

Newbie doubts, I suppose...

"Adults

Adult corn snakes that are 24 months or more should be fed every two to three weeks. This is based on the size of pinky mice being fed" 😲

How old is your corn snake?

Also there is a very good sticky post at the top of the snake section

A Beginners Guide to Cornsnakes (Pantherophis guttatus)

A beginners guide to cornsnakes (Pantherophis guttatus) This species has one of the longest historys in the hobby, they have been bred for many decades and in that time many mutations (color morphs) have appeared. This species has everything from solid dark grey/brown to completely snow white...

That has a lot more information and a better reference than that website you linked to

Hello,

I only found that website when looking for growth charts. I follow the guide on this page and the RSPCA website for actual care.

One of the snakes (F, Scully) is one year old, and the other (M, Mulder) is 11 months old. I got them at the same time, from the same breeder, in April. When I got them, they were 19gr and 21gr, respectively, and feeding on small pinkies every five days. The last time I weighed them on the 24th of June, they were 45gr and 41gr, and they have been on two small fluffs (5gr each since then). After measuring their last shed, they are around 67cm and 63cm long. I collect all the data I can about them, attached.

I see them grow, but I wonder if they are doing it at a good rate because they still feel quite small (not that I have ever kept other snakes to compare) and obviously I want the best for them. Fears of a recent father, I suppose!

Thank you for confirming that they could probably do with a bigger feeder, I just didn't want to go too fast in the size increase. I will get them some bigger mice for the weekend feeding, hopefully they will enjoy the new "flavour"!
