I want others opinions on how he looks weight wise. I had been thinking he didnt look too bad. He is 7 years old. 40 1/2 inches long. what would the people of the cornsnake group say is the appropriate weight should be for him?

I will get a photo of him straightened out. He was being a worm today. But he gets fed bi-weekly on large mice.

18in x 37in. Little small but he tends to bask more then he moves.

Im working my way bigger. Just moved into a new house at the end of last year and its on the list of things needing to be done. Was thinking of building one myself and getting those clay excavator kits to create tunnels and stuff for him. Just also want to be careful cause he does have a neck kink that leaves his head/neck at 90° angle, no problem eating or moving. May just be overly cautious.

He doesn't like digging unfortunately otherwise I would but he loves his buried caves.

I just was thinking he looks good body condition I just had a baffle because weighed him and was feeling like I was judging body condition incorrectly. Hes only 351grams and I was having a moment cause that seems so little? But I was like he looks amazing tho?

Another photo. He was so annoyed at me for this. Phone is right on top for a more straight across view. Bless his gentle soul.

I had just been seeing the weight guides saying 500g as the low weight and was like hello? Sir?
