I just picked up a 1.0 snow het lav that is smaller than any other corn I've ever hatched. Every neonate that I've bred has been at least 12 to 16 inches as brand new hatchlings. But this little guy was hatched 7-21-04 and is only 13 inches long...TINY! He was shipped to me via Oklahoma and is from a serpenco line. The breeder, Julie Coultres, has sent me pics of him before he was shipped, but I couldn't really determine his size. The deli cup he is in (which is what he was shipped in) is a little bigger than the size of my palm, just to give you comparison. He was fed one small pinkie a week, which is about average. Thats what I give my babies too. About 8 hours after I recived him, I tested him with a pinkie just to see if he would strike, but he just avoided it. He's a little stressed out from the ship, which is TOTALLY understandable, and he's eaten recently so I'm not worried about him not eating just yet, but I've never seen a corn his age so small, and I've been breeding for about 7 years. My guess is that he could have been from either a double clutch or a younger female. so for comparison, how small was your smallest corn?
