jimmy is 2 years, 9 months old. 130 grams. i got him about exactly a year ago.

he is small. i see people post their corn snakes here that are much, much larger at this age. i know that it differs from snake to snake, similar to height in people, but jimmy is Little.

i feed him regularly (each 7-10 days) and weigh each mouse he is provided, aiming for close to 15% of his weight. i’m well-researched and particular about his care so i’m not concerned about that.

i’m mostly curious, does anyone just have a very small corn snake? perchance, he was a runt of the litter? might he be a late bloomer or will he be a little guy forever?

no matter what i love my little jimmy

An update to my previous post, I finished my mantis mask in time to go to the Ren Faire this weekend!

i’m working on a mantis mask currently, as well as adding paper mache clay to the mantis raptors i paper mached last year. i’m really enjoying how it is turning out. i wore the arms to the ren faire last year.

i used cardboard and tape as a base and layered paper mache clay on the top. i’m using wood glue to reinforce areas as well. i hope it holds up for the ren faire this year!

first time feeding my corn snake jimmy an plain scrambled egg! i saw some others doing this so i decided to give it a shot, as a one time thing.

i was so happy he went for it. he looks so funny eating the egg.
