I've noticed quite a few people on here talking about weighing corn snakes!
What should the weights be of a corn snake all through life because I have a variety of ages?. I am particularly interested because i've just found my escapee who was on the run for nine months, just to see if she's under weight or okay!
Thanks Guys!<3 |

I'm no expert but i think it differs with every snake really :) i think it's more to do with the shape of them, ie round = overweight, breadloaf = good weight, triangular = underweight. Sure someone with more experience will be able to answer a bit better!
Nice to hear you found your snake. Mines just went missing so this gives me hope! |

| I'll echo Freddiesmum there- it completely depends on your snake. I've seen snakes of the same age have completely different sizes. It depends how active they are, how much they're fed, all sorts. Some are just built differently too! To be honest in my opinion, anything over 650g is on the large size for an adult, no matter what the length. That's one big snake! I have a full grown adult who was 613g when I got him, and he needed to lose a bit of weight, and is now a very healhty looking 550g :) |

Heres the most recent, just after he was weighed.
As you can see he still has the nice bread shape and isn't chubby...just big XD
My wrist is all bent from trying to hold him up :P
