Unfortunately, your picture didn't come through - but I'd love to see it. The 6-foot length for the corn snake came from stuff I have read online, although I admit I bought that snake knowing NOTHING about any of them, but have learned a lot. I've had him about 4 months and he has probably increased 30% in length - he is longer than a 40-gallon breeder tank (not sure how long that is) already - but I don't know how old he is - but he definitely wasn't a baby when I got him. I don't know if the vet can estimate age -but I did have him probed and he is a boy. I agree on the pooping issue with the copperhead/radiated (what in the heck should I call him, anyway?) - he peepees a little and has pooped one time on me. But I think he is used to me because he only did it the first 2 days and hasn't that past couple of days. I ordered a bunch of books online today about corn snakes and rat snakes (I made sure the rat snake books were older, since they were re-classified about 4 years ago) - and a general snake book since I know little to nothing about them. I attached a length picture of my corn from the last time he shed (he actually used me - my earrings - to start shedding).
