Average length of Abbott cornys?

hey all, sorry for so many posts haha... but i was wondering,
whats the average length of a abbott morph corny? ive heard certain morphs grow larger then others, and mine is 5 months old, and already over 15-16inches from head to tail,

I don't think there is a difference in size with the different morphs, but a Creamsicle or Rootbeer may be bigger, but then they are hybrids.

oooh ok, wasnt sure, because mine seems pretty lengthy for only being 5months old, i might be stuck with a potential 6 fter :] -hopes for a 6fter-

After my last post I measured three of my snakes the close to the age of yours and they measured 1-16 inches. I weighed them yesterday 45g male, 42g female and 46g female. I think yours is pretty average. If you are going by shed measurement that would be wrong.

ooh ok, lol, nah im going by his current length roughly, give or take 15-17inches, 5months old, how big do you think he'l get? i heard some cornys only get 2feet long, but that cant be right at all

First off, 'Abbotts' are a trade name, rather than a morph, which has come to become synonymous with thick-black-bordered bright orange Okeetees. True Abbotts would be descended or directly bred by Lee Abbott (who is a member here). A lot of folks, including me, desire this look for okeetees.

Back on topic, Okeetees, in general, do have a tendency to be larger/longer and more thick-bodied as compared to other morphs.

An Okeeteee is a Normal selctively bred, but still a Normal, while they can be bigger there is no guarantee

You can judge prey size a few ways, the wieght of your snake, 1.5 times te largest part of abdomen andh how quickly the food is digested (when the lump goes away). How often does your snake shed?
