[Nixy]

[Nixy]

Ever notice how nice they sit till you get out the camera? Then hide their heads, or just play dodge.

 

[Nixy]

Yay,,,,, almost a good shot...... almost....

 

[Nixy]

And of course, Rainbow with one of her little new parents. Eden.

Gah how I love snakes if only I dident have that terrible fear of mice. Oh well you have nice kids, snake and spiders included .

 

[Nixy]

Buy hamsters instead?
Or maybe you can find some other substitute?

 

[Bry]

That's a great looking corn snake, Nixy. Great choice for the little kids. Is it a candy cane corn snake?

How about frozen mice/rats? They don't bite.

Funny story, the same thing happened to us! We went to the Reptile show in Colorado looking for new T's, and I talked Inuleki into letting me have a Black Ghost Corn snake! Funny how that happens...

 

[BigSam]

how big is your corn snake post a pic

Sam,

 

[Inuleki]

ours is just a hatchling... maybe 9 or 10 inches... and our digicam, yeat again has issues taking pictures of anything smaller than a very large pissed-off drunken scotsman...

 

[manville]

nice picture..they look cool..

 

[Valael]

The best thing about a mouse that likes to bite is that you don't feel bad when the snake takes it.



An eye for an eye and all that ;P

 

[Nixy]

Thanks all.
The twins Love her. She took a pinky and they did a happy dance for her. LOL.

Bry, yes it was sold as a candy cane corn. I wanted so bad to get them two of them but I didn't have enough. But one day maybe we'll get Rainbow a boyfriend.

Nixy, here's my male candy cane corn. Got him as a rescue from an ex-roomie of mine.

[Nixy]

Bry he is Gorgeous! How long does it take for these darlings to mature?
Maybe we can arange for a date for them or something.

 

[Inuleki]

well... there's not really an inside thing to it... i was watching samurai jack earlier, and it was one of the episodes with the scottsman... and i figured i'd used my zeppelin going up in a ball of flame analogy quite a few times, so i thought, what the heck, an angry drunken scottsman, what's bigger than that? (unless he's.. um.... vertically challenged let's say)

 

[Phillip]

Fed well corns can mature easily in 2 years with 18 months not being unheard of. Size matters more than age with females doing better breeding wise at a minimum of 3 feet while males can be bred smaller than that.

We have her in a 20x20 inch round container. (Glorified large pretzel jar )
She has several poplar branches that have been stripped bleached rinsed, micowaved dry and forming a nice jungle gym for her. She has two hides. One ground based and one arborial. A three inch water bowl, two and a half inches deep with a slanted rock for lounging half and half if she wants to or full imersion if thats her desire.
She has several staralized flat stones for basking, several of these afixed together to form her ground level hide. A heating light focused on it, the water dish in the cooler side of the container.
Substrate I used staralized peat moss. She seems to like it.
She took a pinky that was Just about her girth and is basking now.
Anything else she needs?
