I just got a corn and I was wondering how fast they grow. Do they grow as fast as bps or some boas or do they take their time? Thanks.

My corns have averaged around 20" at 6 months, 30" at a year, and 40" and up at 2 years. (rough numbers) Not as fast as my boa grew (about an inch a week for 10 months I have recorded), but respectable nonetheless.
Of course, some just grow faster (and slower) than others. My neighbors have a yearling corn, fed 1x a week, that's at least 3.5'. My ghost corn is only 2/3 the weight of my other '01s that are just slightly older than him.
I feed my corns 1x a week, it's easier for me (and less expensive) and I know it's not too much or to little for the snakes. Growth doesn't really matter as long as they're healthy.
