Corn snake!!

[Tori]

Thanks, they were my first corns and I have to admit I was a little disappointed that they are so reclusive ( unlike garters) Garters are still my favorites. One of the few photos that I've taken that didn't come out barely seeable. I suck at taking pictures. The camera I have is capable of doing a lot, but I have no idea how to get it to do anything other than click. I have to admit that I've been very lucky in that neither have ever reguritated (hope I spelled that right) or been sick. When they were babies I didn't realize that they both had retained a little bit of shed on the tip of their tails until it turned dark, so both lost a bit of tail before I could get it off. The breeder sold me the green blotched snow as a blizzard but I still think she is a beauty. She developed the green/yellow blotches after she got larger. I've thought about breeding her, but she is so close to the anery that I don't want to mess that up.

A little late, but congratulation on the Corn snake Lori. The one in the photo is great. I have an '07 male like it on the way. Extremely docile creatures. I'm sure you will have a lot of enjoyment with her.

Well, I am very bummed about the corn snake issue... turned out the woman was giving away the snake behind her husband's back!!!!!!!!! He found out and needless to say, I did not get the snake. What bums me is not that I didn't get it, but that the snake will continue to live in a barren 10 gallon enclosure. :-( The woman sounds so useless... lol, what I mean is, I told her to go out and get the snake a larger tank and decorate to her heart's content, and she basically told me it was her husband's deal and she couldn't touch it. Oh, but you'll try to give it away, huh??!!

Ah well. Hopefully at some point he'll tire of the poor thing and give it up. I told her to call me anytime.

Oh, Lori, I'm so sorry to hear that!! And very sorry for the poor snake too. Maybe you need to call her husband and scream at him for a bit- if you scare him good, he may just hand over that snaky anyhow!!

If there's one thing I'm good at , it's talking people out of pets they shouldn't have. But this guy is one of those hard nosed, "I know everything about everything types" and he wasn't hearing a word. Personally, I think she was giving away the wrong snake.

[anji1971]

LOL!! But if she gives away the 'right' snake, you don't really want HIM, do you???????

[Lori P]

No, great googly moogly, NO!! But I can always have him neutered and then drop him off at a homeless shelter.... LOLOL

[anji1971]

Yeah, that sounds about what he deserves.

By the way....................................
"Great googly moogly"?????
My kids used to watch a cartoon with a character who used that expression ---have you been watching "Maggie & the Ferocious Beast" lately???

[Lori P]

LOL!!!!! My sister says that, and I don't know where she got it from-- but she has a one year old, and she has been watching a lot of cartoons lately!! She sent me an email the other day in reaction to something I said and it read, "Holy cow, great googly moogly, Jesus jump up, NO I DON'T"

LOL!!!!!
