Squamata Colubridae Elaphe guttata (Corn snake)

Corn snakes are measured to be anywhere from 3 to 6 feet. I'm sure their genders have some role on their size but had little luck finding such a statement, but instead I found a tail distinction in the genders.So I am slightly confused as to how my Amelanistic corn snake, Scar, is as huge as she seems to me. I feel it might be a worthwhile project to keep measurements of the snakes to help judge gender, feeding, and growth. 

Back on the topic of corn snakes, they live in wooded, rocky hillsides and groves, meadows, barns, and abandoned buildings. They can be found in such habitats all the way from the top of Pennsylvania down to the tip of Florida and as far west as Kentucky and Louisiana. Their bodies should stay between 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit preferably. Corn snakes when full grown can eat small rodents and birds, and whenever the corn snake is first born it can easily eat a pinkie and in the wild they tend to prey on small lizards and frogs. Corn snakes may have 10 to 30 oblong eggs and in the wild they give birth to them in rotting wood so that the heat trapped acts as an incubator. These snakes live approximately 10 years in the wild; however, they can live as long as 23 years in captivity.
