If he was as thick as a thumb at that age I would be worried! Corns are meant to be quiet skinny snakes, eel like. So yes, that is normal.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

Go off body shape rather than anything else, its been said on here quite a bit that the body shape should be loaf of bread shaped and not pointy at the spine. If its not skinny in build I wouldn't worry as some snakes are just bigger or smaller than others.

Is it possible to be a bit more descriptive of him as well, just to clarify the species.
California Corn is new to me.

As a kinda rough guide, if you layed a ruler flat on the fattest part of a corn as an adult, most would say between 1inch and 1 and a half inch.
