Funny how......

Isn't it funny how your snakes grow when your not looking? I got Hope in April and she was 12" long. Now she is about 2'. I got my orange albino black ratsnakes in July and they were 1 month old and 12". Now my male black rat is as long as Hope but not nearly as thick. Just thought that was interesting.

So then it grew 12 inches or about in one year? So thats like an inch more or less every month. Or did it have some amazing growth spurt? I use this program thing that I found on another forum for measuring snakes, you take a picture of your snake next to a ruler or something similiar and it gives you the measurments. I might be really late on this lol Infact I know I am but its an unbelievable tool to use. Goes a long way from measuing your snake with rope then measuring the rope lol. Anyway My corn is about 14 inches, he actually grew an inch from when I got him when I thought he didn't gain a thing, He's also a he (popped him myself).

She grew 1' in 7 months. My rats grew 1' in about 4 months but they are still very slender! Hope is a little porker

What is funny to me is how most corns grow. Mine always seemed to get long, then fat, then long, then fat until they reach adult size. It's like they seldom put on girth and length at the same time, but do each one in successive stages. Reminds me of junior high when all the guys grew tall (well, taller than me) and were REAL wirey, then got fat again....lol.
