After those posts about snake obesity, I was wondering if there's any sort of resource that tells us normal weight/lenght growth patterns for corns (or other species as well).

There's nothing that I know of.

But since I've been weighing and measuring mine since I got them, I will include some of my info:

Averaging all my snakes info...

Current snakes:
1.0 2001 Hypo snow cornsnake
0.1 2002 Pastel Ghost cornsnake
1.1 2002 Bloodred cornsnakes
To be added when it gets warmer:
0.1 1998 Het Hypo, Het Caramel cornsnake
1.0 2000 Hypo Het Caramel cornsnake

Thanks for posting that info. I finally got hold of a scale. Last night I weighed two of mine. The rest weren't out so I didn't bother them. My 10 month old weighed in at 86 grams and my 18 month old weighed in at 183 grams. So I guess we are on the same page. Thanks again that was some very usefull information. Jim
