Wonder how big my guy would have gotten if I had slit his feed when he was younger... at five, he's just a tad over 4'5 and weighs in at 660grams and he's definitely not fat.

That's for sale???
Sounds like a good decent sized animal to me! I didn't slit C.S.' food for a long time and then when he got so big I didn't as I figured he didn't need any help! If he were a horse, he'd be what we call an easy keeper. So perhaps your would have been just as big, but maybe reached it's potential more quickly. I'm very certain that I slit the food on my animals I feel really need full benefit of all the food. Like Minuet. And I do it on the green tree pythons to help make it easier to digest and potentially be deficated. I figure if they use more of the food, there's less waste to be excreted.

LOL Meg, good point. Kathy Love called him a monster when she saw his picture 
I'm still slicing his food as I figure that it's still good for him if it helps his digestion.
Definitely slicing the food for the new girl, whose name is currently going between Avalon and Norma Jean.... sure wish I could come up with a catchy name for her. She's turned down my last four (my daughter that is )

Nope! I was going to take her in to be sexed during the hunger strike, which was August, so kind of late for male breeding behaviour, but when I put her in the pillowcase at 6AM to take her to work with me- I just felt sorry for her because she seemed so disoriented- and didn't do it. Her tail is abruptly narrow after her cloaca- I _guess_ she is a female. I'd still like to know, though...

And she is 40 inch?! My female butter is 41 inch and only 283 today.... and she'd definitley better not get thicker...

No idea- she's wild caught. I've had her since a year ago last July. I had pneumonia really bad (you don't _ever_ want to get it!!!) and was in the middle of missing two weeks of work, but somehow in my feverish haze I decided I ought to be doing something productive, like yard work, so I was out with this big wagon thing and went to pick up a big brush pile. It was early morning, and the grass was all dewey, and I was in my PJs with bare feet, and I lifted up this huge pile of pine branches to put in the wagon and there was this glowing orange "baby" snake (she can curl up really small!!) (at the time she was 32") and I'd _never_ seen a cornsnake in person (but have been a snake lover my whole life- just not familiar yet with Florida's snakes!) so I set down my brush and looked for a stick to pick her up with- since I had bare feet and couldn't trap her by gently pinning her with my foot...So...(I was _so_ sick) I get this really lame stick and slide it under her, and she procedes to crawl up the stick and onto my arm, and I'm thinking, ok, guess this is a very tame snake, and she just crawled around and was so sweet. So we go in the house (I'm thinking- this must be a Red Rat Snake- pulled that out of the back of my mind) and I get my Reptiles of North America book and figure out she's a Corn Snake, possibly the most ideal pet snake of all, (and she sure seemed to be!) so I drove feverishly to the store and bought a 40g to move a tortoise into, and bought cornsnake stuff for Maizey, and got the ex-tortoise 20L scrubbed up and fitted out for her, and she moved in, and she's been my best girl ever since. Ate FT like she'd been doing it her whole life, loved her water bowl, used her moist hide the first time I gave it to her for shedding, has never hissed or struck or given any indication that she is anything but the most gentle snake in the world. I take her out for walks and to climb trees all the time. She moves _so_ slowly, it's like taking a snail for a walk! I've talked about her a lot, how she is so in tune to us- she's out ALL the time when we are home- wakes up with us in the morning, comes out of her hide as soon as we get home in the afternoon, loves to come out and be carried around or crawl about- she never races anywhere- so she's easy to exercise. I love her. My first snake in a long time.
