Big Corn

You sure its a corn? Could it possibly be a hybrid? Maybe a Pine snake cross or something? I would like to see a picture of that guy!

My bicep is 4 1/2 inches across and 15 inch diameter, I could not imagine a corn that is larger around than my arm. I'd buy it just for the freak factor. I have been accused of powerfeeding but I never shorten length between feedings (7 days) only increase prey size, and I thought I had good growth with a yearling at 130 grams. If you got the size right that snake must weigh over 5 lbs

I don't think so. Dude, even Anacondas are a stretch to get that big!! Are you sure you know what a corn snake looks like?
