"I just wondered if activity would have a noticable facter in growth, since it has an impact of feed need. Although it may be minor."

Try asking Tom Stevens (Nokturnaltom) on the king snake forum. He and Frank Retes (FR) have been studying this for a while and have some very favorable results to support it. This of course is with kings and not corns. Basically what they have found is that if given larger caging that allows the snake to be as active as it wants then the snake will act more naturally. They then let the snake decide when to eat and when not to eat by offering food much more frequently than what is considered conventional. So far (I believe)they have had snakes grow at a fast rate, reporduce well and have no bad side effects associated with "power feeding" snakes that are kept in smaller bins/sweater boxes.

It's pretty interesting.
