Corn snake size differences-Miami and Okeetee.

toiletoctopus Dec 28, 2004 06:06 PM

Just wondering if it is true that Miami Corns are smaller than others, and if Okeetee's are the largest. Thanks for any assistance.

I am not sure about the okeetees but it would seem that the largest corns I have ever seen were normals.
These were several specimans around the 5 1/2 to 6 foot range.
And I do not have first hand knowledge on the Miamis but from everything I have read over the last few years it seems that the corns from the southern half of florida seem to run smaller on average. I am probably wrong but it seems they tend to only average around 3 1/2 to 4 feet..
Hopefully someone can verify or discount these statements

I have a very similar questions. I have an albino corn. I've heard she can grow to 5 feet or so. Is this correct? Anyone out there have a full grown albino corn? Thanks for the help.

I don't have a true Miami but I do have one from a locality in lower Florida.

She is a proven breeder that produces about 25 eggs each year but at her largest (without eggs) she only weighs 250 grams. She is also about 3 1/2 feet long.
