some cornsnakes grow much faster than others. Some type of corns grow faster than others (on average). I think the oketees grow fastest, at least in my experience. And I have heard that miamis are slower and end up smaller. My corns seemed to shed about once a month when they were babies (under one year old). As they get older, their growth rate slows down and so does their shedding.
