Depends on how much ya feed them. The more ya feed them the faster they grow.

On feeding schedule and other environmental (and probably genetic) factors also. "A few years" might be a good answer, but a 3 or 4 year old cornsnake can be a modest size or beginning to show some REAL growth. Some like to "push" it...Many think that once you get some good growth on the babies it is best to slow it down a bit and allow the snake to grow at a more "normal" rate. Breeders are often motivated to rush their snakes to breeding size (and actually, lots of growth during the first few years is fine), but you don't want an obese snake either.
I am more of a "take it slowly" person with the growth of my snakes once I get them out of the baby stage. Theoretically, as reptiles, they may continue growing their entire lives, which should be well over a decade. Duffy

they typically reach full length at 4 yrs or so.but again it depends on the care it is given.it reaches breedable age/size at approx 2 yrs.again,depending on care given by keeper.
