At hatching, they're about 9"-14". There are a bazillion variables that affect growth after that, so it's really hard to say. If you get one under two feet in length, and take care of it properly, you'll see a satisfying degree of development over time. Hope this helps.

The lenght vary with each snake, could be 12 to 20 inches. It depends on alot of variables. Feeding, genetics, health etc. so if you looking to see the grow of a snake just get a hatchling. There are a lot of breeder on this site that will you find the right one. Just search the forum. And here a few links to read too.

Just to show how growth does vary snake to snake, My Amel is a July 05 hatchling, he was 12" and a month old when I purchased him.
By 6 months he was at 23" long.
I feed just as anyone else does, when he ate pinkies I feed him every 5 days, when I moved up to fuzzies I switched to every 6 days, now he is on small mice and I feed him every 7 days.
Phinius Aug 05 - 1 month old 12" long
Phinius Jan 05 - 6 months old 23" long

As the others have said I think it varies from snake to snake, husbandry and feeding practices. My snow is just under 2', about a nickel in diameter and aprx 8mo. The Lavender and Ghost females I just had delivered on V-Day are 5 1/2 months and super tiny. They are aprx 8" and like shoestrings. I was quite shocked at their size so inquired about this with the breeder. Turns out they were brumated for 3 out of the 5 months since hatching. Both gobbled up the nb pinkies I gave them for their first feeding with me and will surely gain some growth soon. Depending on conditions I believe they experience "spurts" as well. Ivory gained 6" in under 3mo!
:wavey: Good luck to you and no matter the size they are when you get em' as long as they eat for ya they should thrive. Keep asking questions of these folks on the forum and follow the advice you are given as it applies!

That's for sale???
Why in the world would a breeder brumated hatchlings???? There's absolutely no reason for it!! Most snakes I've found start to really grow once you get them on something more than pinkies. I was in my local pet shop yesterday talking with the worker there and I had one of my corns with me. There were a few people there that were checking her out and one guy's son had one. He said it was 3 years old and only about 24" long. They were still feeding fuzzies. I asked how often they fed, and they said weekly. Kind of wierd, but I guess slow growers are out there.
