Mallie, my big girl... About 4 years old now ('07 hatch, presumed to be from a late clutch). Don't have any lengths, but here are her weight records for the last year-ish...
8/5/10 - 216 g
11/5/10 - 270 g
11/27/10 - 261 g
1/16/11 - 293 g
5/24/11 - 367 g
6/18/11 - 395 g
9/27/11 - 440 g (give or take a few--forgot to weigh before food, so subtracted avg weight of medium to large adult mice)
Holy cow. I just realized she gained about 200 grams in the last year alone... Baby girl's gettin' BIG! Oh--I should probably note here, she grew pretty slow at first, due to inconsistent feedings through the first year (my fault, not hers). So if the weight gain for her age seems pretty weird, that's why. She's catching up quick, though... Lol!

Since nobody did anything with the data, and I think there's a wealth of info here, I did something about it:
I pulled and parsed all the data posted here which contained definitive birthdays for snakes. Without exact ages, the data isn't very helpful.
I added data from my four corn snakes as well.
I wrote a program which does some voodoo, and then renders a handy graph of all our data. The y axis is weight (grams), and the x axis is snake age, in days, since date of hatch.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the graph it produced, which I think is extremely helful as an 'average' growth curve. I'll also add more data and re-render the chart if people post more. If anyone is interested in the code (PHP, MySQL, and some JS), I'm more than happy to send that to anyone as well.
Conclusion - It's clear that the naysayers who tell us there isn't a corn snake growth curve because.... well I'm not even sure their reasoning. This proves that, just like humans, there are averages, outlyers, some snakes that will never be huge, some snakes that will never stay small, but it can all be plotted on a growth chart and still give us useful averages! Hope this helps people, I know it will help me and my snakes.

There doesn't seem to be a way to edit my post, so I'm adding this:
I forgot to put labels on the axes, so it may be hard to decipher what the chart is showing. X axis is snake age (in days since hatch date), Y axis is snake weight, in grams.

I need to do this with my snakes. I haven't recorded weights for quite a few in several months though. I had a small chart with a few of my snakes plus growth predictions, and I've been pretty damn close though based on the average growth between them.
