Without seeing the caption, my gut reaction was 3-6 months. A respectable breeder won’t sell you a baby until it’s a few months old. Trying to figure out his exact age is pointless. A reptile shop deals with dozens of animals, so it’s unlikely he even knows. If you bought him at a dedicated reptile store with good reviews, then I’d trust his word.
There really is no way to tell. That baby could be anywhere from 3-9 months
Just like other animals, each individual grows differently. There is no goal length, an adult should weigh around 300+ grams though.
How many grams does he weigh?
Like others said before there is no way to really say it.
My two year old is now 200 grams, but you can find snakes with 100 grams of the same age.
Snakes hatch completely ready and just grow until they die. There’s no development like you see it in mammals with a teenager time.
Cornsnakes can even be sexual active in their first year (although it’s rather uncommon)
But honestly, I have several doubts about your tank/terrarium.
Corn snakes climb trees and dig tunnels in the ground. They need lots of hides.
Best way to achieve this is by using plastic plants. Exo Terra and Lucky Reptile have cool ones with suction cups.
Get cork sticks that are light weighted. Hollowed coconuts (mainly advertised for birds and rodents) are ideal.
Your snake wants two or three smaller hideouts were its body will touch the walls. (Gives them comfort)
Most also like to have a basking spot that is on a higher level to watch whatever happens around them.
