Dragon_Empress Sep 25, 2003 03:32 PM

I have a quick question, how big around do Corn Snakes get? And how long do they live? Thanks for any help.

They can grow anywhere between 2.5 - 5 feet usually and, I think, can live like 15 years, give or take.

I think they can grow to be six feet long, but most will max out shorter than that. A six foot cornsnake is an impressive sight, although I have only really seen them in pix.

2.5 feet up to 6 feet long like everyone else said but the lifespan is longer than 15 years. I think it is around 20 and i think the record is 32

...I think she was looking for how big AROUND corns get, not how long. I'd answer it, but mine is still a baby.

Heheh, at least somebody else read the question carefully hehe.

I don't have an adult corn but I did see the parents of the one I bought last week. Though I didn't measure the girth of the snake, it looked to be around an inch in diameter. SOme may get a bit bigger (maybe 1 1/2".
