Quick Question

I have four yearling corns, and I was wondering. At what sizes does a hatchling corn stop being a hatchling? Also I read somewhere, I believe it was from the book "Corn Snakes-The Comprehensive Owner's Guide" by Kathy Love and Bill Love, that the smallest "recorded" breeding size for a female corn was 21 inches. Is this correct? I don't plan on breeding mine that small, however I am curious none the less.
 
Most people don't go by size, grams is the standard form of measurement.
Alot of people go by the rule of 3's (with females) 3 years, 300grams, 3 feet.
 
So basicly if I don't have at least two of the three, I shouldn't think 'bout breeding. Meaning; 3 years + 3 feet, or 3 feet + 300 grams.

Correct?
 
I mostly ignore length and go by 3 years, 300 grams for females (preferably more grams if possible). Generally at this point they will be over 3 feet. I also evaluate their overall muscle tone and strength. I'd rather wait a year than risk it if I were unsure. I've bred a 2 year old male fine though.
