Growth Question

At about what age, on the average, do corns reach there max length/weight?

I read one time around 18 months. Does that sound about right?

Definitely more than 18 months. Where did you read that? They slow down after 3-4 years I believe but they never stop growing entirely.

They will all differ, but it seems 3 years is what comes to mind.

It was on another Forum, nothing scientific by any means, that's why I was wondering.

My little July '06 baby is growing along and I was just curious, more anxious, to get to the full size. His coloration already in this short amount of time is just blossoming. I can't wait to see him full grown!

Thanks all!

They will continue to grow throughout their lives, but very slowly after that. As to weight, that can fluctuate throughout their lives, depending on how they are fed. You can overfeed a corn and end up with a one that looks like a ball python: not good, even if you like balls. :grin01:
