I think in Sylvara's case it's genetics. Her mother was a big girl too.

Hmm if 75 is normal for a yearling than maybe Sirius parents were both large too, lol 250 is large im finding out, but as long as hes healthy im a happy girl no matter how big he gets.. I do think hes going to be quite long though.. Lol hes already also 4 feet.. Aha

I also have two corns that are 17 and 18 months old and the oldest is 93 grams and the other one is 86 grams! I don't knew what you're feeding your corn but that's one huge snake! I thought that mine were small when someone said their younger corn was 119 grams but this is out of the ball park! I am feeding my girls a rat crawler (about the size of a small mouse) each every seven days and this is the third week they are eating this size. I just recently found someone in my local area who raises his own mice and rats, but previously had them on two fuzzies because the local PetSmart didn't carry any thing between the fuzzies and small mice so I couldn't move them to hoppers. So anyways, I just recently found this guy and now I'm feeding them the rat crawlers instead. I'm hoping this will help them gain some weight, but not that much! LOL

I have an 18 month old girl from small parents, she's never been fed more often than every 7 days and she is pushing 300, she is a MONSTER, and much larger than all of my others that are her age.
I wouldn't worry too much honestly, just be cautious not to overfeed him at this point.

Let me add to it that I have a few Jan/Feb babies that range from mid 70's to high 80's for weight, on a strict 7 day meal plan. Never sooner, never later. I know people who have babies from this year that are larger than mine and that are may/june hatch, however I can't speak for their feeding regiments either.

What you feed them, and what the feeders are fed makes a difference too. Think about the bugs you feed to your lizards for example, the better gut loaded the bugs are with better quality gut load, the better the bugs are for the lizards.

My corn just moved to Hoppers yesterday. Hopefully I'll get growth because she is so small. I've had her since October and got 3 sheds so far.

A shed a month/5 weeks is typical for grow-outs, I'd say yours is right on track.
