I'd guess that you should add on a few weeks to your 9 month period and settle for that, you'll never really know when it was born as a maintenance diet can keep hatchlings at smaller sizes
 
hmmm very true...i find it odd that somone elses corn is almost identical to mine, but he says his is small for her age...a year and 9 months. if you measure pretty out when hes actuly stretched out hes 26.5" long. for some reason that just seems large for a less than year old corn...anyone else agree?
 
I don't think its odd. Corns grow at different rates.

Their genetics partly determines how fast and how big they will grow.

But also their environment and history will affect size.

For example, you may have a corn snake that you've just bought from a pet shop. It could be around the size of your average yearling, but could be far older, only fed a maintanence diet which has led to decreased growth. Or alternatively you could have a youthfull snake that you have fed more, that is much larger than snakes of older ages found in pet shops :shrugs:

Not much help really ;)
