albino question

I was wondering if anyone ever noticed that albino corn snakes are smaller than other types. I have one and the 2 others Ive seen seem pretty small for their age. Has anyone else found this to be true?
 
No...

Almost all of the amels I have plus the ones I hatched out last year were definitely "normal-sized." A lot of them grew at faster rates than the rest of the snakes. For example, I have a 2003 amel that is 31.9 inches long and weighs 196 grams. I think it mostly depends on if the snake is a good feeder, how often its fed, and how much it is fed.
 
My amel ("red albino") has past 52 inches...he is around 54 now...three years old...big boy and growing!

Some are, some aren't. I have an Amel Motley that is quickly becoming one of my largest snakes while a Amel Okeetee is now my smallest.
 
Terri,

You wrote, "For example, I have a 2003 amel that is 31.9 inches long and weighs 196 grams."

Am I reading that correctly??? Did you perhaps mean that the animal is a 2002, or do you live near a nuclear power plant!?!?!?

:D
