Question
how big do corns get and are they great for a first snake for me
how often do they shed when could i tell when its time and can i feed it a pinkie when its about 6-9 inches long

Answer
Corns can grow from 4-5.5 feet, they dont get very thick though. How often they shed really depends on each individual snake and the feeding regime. Do lots of research before getting a snake, as reptiles require their conditions to be perfect otherwise you will end up with problems. Before shedding a corns eyes may go blue and it may appear dull, a few days before shedding the eyes clear again. Hatchlings eat pinkies and move up to the next size each time their growth has increased a lot. Any more questions then just ask
