Question
HI I KNOW YOU DIDNT PUT THAT YOU KNOW CORN SNAKES, BUT ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE"ON VACATION" SO I WAS WONDERING IF YOU KNOW THE WIDTH (THICKNESS) OF AN ADULT CORN SNAKE I WANT TO KNOW HOW THICK MY 2 CORNS WILL GET

Answer
Hi Rhianna.  I am very familiar with corn snakes too since they are similiar to kingsnakes and are in the Colubrid family.  Snakes are measured in LENGTH not width/thickness as the width varies from snake to snake. Baby corns range in size from 9-14 inches ;  adults are generally 2.5 to 5 feet in length; most are in the 3-4 foot range. The average life span of corns is 10 years.  Hope this helped and thanks for writing :-)
