I purchased a male black milksnake last january about this time.So without a hatch date I would guess a late 09, maybe Octoberish hatch date.

My question is its over a year old and still pretty small, has barely started a color change.From looking on google images and comparing hatch dates this guy should be almost completely black and well over two feet? Am I not feeding him enough? He is not even 2 ft long, maybe just over 18 inches.



Here is a pic of him I took today.I feed him the same as the corn and they are both about the same age.The corn is bigger too,not as thick but much longer..
