Thanks for the reply.:) I have to say that Rusty is the nicest looking corn snake I've ever seen. The colour is just wonderful and he looks so nice and beefy! I haven't liked the look of most corns, but that one is a beaut.

he is a looker for sure. also has a very relaxed temperament. he's bitten the owner before once in the last year, but other than that i can't say he has even tried to bite anyone. she just messed up had the smell of food on her hand or something.

heres a pic of him doing what he does best.

hah rusty is blushing. :} yep, its a corn. she kept saying it was a rat snake..but when i asked people on this corn snake forum, the overwhelming answer was corn snake. honestly i'm not crystal clear on the difference...different subspecies or something?

he's pretty old...i forget exactly how old, but the first number to come to mind is 13 years old. he has some trouble with each shed on the underside of his neck..you can see a little piece of skin there. i think he has an old scar there or something..not sure.


red rat snakes are cornsnakes

To tell apart a corn or a rat you need to look at the band across their eyes. I believe it's solid, it's a corn. Broken, is a rat. I can't remember if its the other way around or not.

Wow! Some gorgeous snakes!

Well here's as plain as it gets. Wild caught Black Rat Snake from up the street yesterday. Do you have to feed these Black Mice? :?

Here's an old one from last summer. A copperhead that wouldn't go away. About 2 feet long if I remember correctly.

Thx, i too prefer the looks of venomous snakes. The Atheris is a nice species and maybe somewhere in the future i´ll get a few more of those like squamigera :)
Ofcourse i have only a few crappy pics of all but here´s a few more:

Here are a few pictures of my female Boa Constrictor Imperator. She is just over 5 feet right now (still small considering the size of her parents). These pictures are about 4-5 months old, so she has grown a little more since they were taken. Ill try to get pics of my Corn and Kingsnake to post later, but my camera is at school not home.

Those are Bush Vipers right? Thats the #1 venomous snake I want to own someday. I know someone that keeps a couple so Im going to work with him for a long while to get used to what it takes to care for one, then in a year or two I might look into getting one.

Sounds good, it´s a good idea to work with someone who works with such and get used to these that way. She has been pretty easy at me so far, hopefully it would stay that way ;)

I love the Eyelashes too, although i´d prefer this babycolour instead of the yellow but still nice snakes indeed :)

Man i like the looks of that terrificus! Just plain mean and nice :worship:

I'm not a big snake guy, but I absolutely LOVE Gaboon Vipers. I will own one some day.
