I was hoping someone with TP experience would answer your question. I am raising a pair of 08s right now and have never bred them. Reflecting on what adult females from friends collections look like, I would venture to guess they should at least be 36 inches long. Not sure what a comparable length female corn would weigh, but probably in the 300-500 gram range. Once again, not 30 inches, 32 inches, etc., but a solid three feet long. There was an article on TPs in Reptiles magazine awhile back and the authored suggested females should be three, maybe even four years of age before trying to breed. They are definitely not corn or king like in that matter.
