My corn is 10 months old and is 31 inches long... I have hear that yearlings are usually only 25 inches long. Is this true? What is the average length of a corn of this age? Is my corn's length abnormal for her age?
Please let me know...

Your corn is a large for a 10 month old. How are you measuring its length? Do you know how much it weighs? How much are you feeding it?
 
measurements

I feed my corn once a week. Usually just 2 hoppers. I am measureing her from head to tip of her tail, in inches. She is not fat, but is healthy in size. I take a measureing tape when she/he is straight on the bottom of her/his cage pressed against the glass and I have also used string when I hold her/him to measure her length. Then measure the string. Just simple stuff like that. I have not weighed her though. Don't have a little scale to do it.

Ummm...that should be around 170 grams or so (if I figured correctly).

Serpwidgets designed a program for measuring snakes. It can be found here: http://serpwidgets.com/cornsnakes/Apps/apps.html

It is much more accurate than using a string or tape measure.

It doesn't sound like you are feeding too much so your snake should be fine. I also have some fast growers. I don't think any of them were quite that big at ten months, though.
 
Mine's 9 months old and 26" long. I use that measuring program, and it works great. Usually I put an unsharpened pencil next to her and take the picture to get a standard size.
