Adult

[Slivers]

At what age are snowcorns described as adults and what is their average lifespan?

[kenalotia]

Adulthood in snow corns (like all corns) is based on size rather than age. Three feet is adult size - a female will be sexually mature at that point normally.

I think corns normally live for ~15 years.

Snow corns are just like all other corns.
The normally reach adulthood according to size rather than age. A corn can breed at 30 inches or 2-3 years of age.
They usually live up until about 15 or so but some have lived over 20.

Considering corns are ready to breed at around 300grams in size then I suppose that would be deemed adult in females, but a lot of people advise to breed when they are 3 years old, so I would count mine adult at 3 years and weighing around 300g.
According to The Corn snake manual some corns can be considered adults at a size of 30 inches whilst others grow to 5 - 6 ft.

I actually had a corn lay eggs at the age of 11 months! i felt bad for her because she was so young. She was caged with another "female" of the same size but it turned out that the other corn was def a male. Big mistake on my part. Anyways, she laid 5 fertile eggs. She is still laying and growing like a normal corn. Just thought that i would share.

Even though some females can lay eggs that young, its not very healthy. Its like a 12 year old having a kid--still definitely not an adult. Just a note.

I've read that tops for lifespan was about 20 years.
