lol wasnt suggesting that you haven't

Its such a shame he's a boy because I'd love to keep him but if I'm going to take over the world of corn snakes I need more females than males.

lol

It's actually very hard to tell.

Most corns reach they're adult size within 3-4 years.
Has it got any lumps down its flanks... these are normally fat spots that build up with age (and too many mice)

The average lifespan is 10-15 years for a corn... However the record stands at 32 years 9 months for a captive bred.

no havent noticed any flat spots on them at all, i have had them for about 4 years now, how many mice do they eat then lol cos i feed mine 3 medium mice at a time, and thats each.

here is one of mine 2 years ago

Lovely looking Classic you have there.

Mine normally eat one large mouse every 7-10 days.

Although I'm fattening up my females for next years season as bigger body weight generally means more eggs :D

Also my latest rescue was over weight so he's on a diet. He is a massive snake so normally he would have 2 large mice but has been reduced to 1.

I also renamed him from Sammy (some people are so un-original) to TROJAN!
