How Long Can Corn Snakes Get?

-> How Long Can Corn Snakes Get?
One of the most popular questions asked of me when I start discussing pet snakes is "How long can corn snakes get?".
Like some of the other popular pet snakes such as king snakes and
milk snakes, just one reason
for their popularity has been their ideal size.
They grow large enough to make interesting and striking pet snakes, yet not large as to difficult to cater for properly in captvity or
to get to the size that it can be dangerous to handle them.
But ask different reptile keepers how long corn do corn snakes get and you won't get one standard answer.
Like us humans, who may grow to little more than 5 feet tall to well over 6 feet in adults, different corn snakes attain different sizes.
For my part, I would corn snakes can generally get to be around 1.5 - 2 metres in length so some specimens may only grow to a metre in length whilst others may reach
2.5 metres or even longer.
Remember that when discussing snake length a 2 metre long corn snake very rarely looks that long as they are not bulky snakes and spend much of their time curled up.
I'm still sometimes surprised when see a snake actually fully extended and the real size of it!
But however long your corn snake gets you should be able to accommodate it perfectly in the home ensuring an ideal environment for it and a happy life.
