Basic question. How old is my snake given the length?

I have a corn (that I believe is a male, given the short thick tail) and He is around 14-15in long. I have nothing to weigh it with, and if anyone could be so kind as to make a guess on the age. I can give a photo as well, and he is alos a snow with what looks like a yellow marked underbelly.
Thanks,

It was very likely born this year. We don't worry about birth dates so much as the season they were born. Your's would be an 09.
 
Well I got him in March? I'm not completely sure, though I know it was either late February or early March.
 
Just slightly off topic, but my friend has gotten a cream sickle corn from petco, and they said it was 4 months. And it is about the same size (or larger) as mine. But Isis, is 2 months older. Could it be the tank she's in? a 10 x 20" tank? Or how often he sheds? I have a wire top, so its not very humid. Sorry, for the barrage of questions. I am just slightly worried.
 
Cage size is fine. Humidity is not a big concern and screen tops are fine. You should be feeding a snake that size every 5 to 7 days. Probably a big pinkie or a small fuzzie. If you are feeding regularly your snake will grow fine.

Creamsicles are a hybrid between cornsnakes and ratsnakes. They are naturally a little bigger. They come from bigger eggs. Not a concern.
 
Thanks! That made me feel a lot better haha, and Ive been feeding him 2 pinkies a week, and hes about as thick as a sharpie? So he can take fuzzies with no problem, they just ran out of them at petco so I went to pinks.
