I finally got corn snakes!!!

[the fox]

I Finally got these things after months of looking.

They are a sunglow which is a female and a silver which is a male.

I hope to breed them in 2 years.

at the moment i keep them in a small container together i have brought 2 90cm tanks but there are to big so they get stressed the snakes still nead to grow.

Any here they are:

Aww, cute little guys ;)

[jflng]

Nice!
I used to keep a lot of different cornsnakes, but traded my herp hobby for the fish.
Enjoy them. They are easy to care for, friendly snakes.

Nice find, really like the silver.

Are these color morphs genetic or developmental (like the stripes/rings on some CA Kingsnake species)?

[jpappy789]

ver cool! have fun with 'em!

[kuhliloach]

you got some beautiful snakes, if only i could have them as pets...

[the fox]

Bert i think its genetic.

Why can't u have snakes?

They had there first meal with me today, the sunglow ate 2 pinks and i could only get the silver to eat one.

I will give pics of them soon.

my parents think that even if you have ten phonebooks on the lid and chained it to the ground ten times they still think it could possibly escape. My dad thinks their slithering looks scary and that once a humanely killed rat that he doesn't have to see enters the house it's automatically a pet. he can stand dead chicken in the freezer but when it comes to tiny little mice he would get all upset. any ways to help convince them fox?

Ha funny story i had a similar story.
Well how i did it was i brought a shed in the garden i then made a huge aviary which my mom really liked them i brought the snakessss, but the difference is my dad did not mind so i had someone to drive me to the snake shops. You can't really tell that that they are really educational and stuff like that, but they are real cool things to have.

[kuhliloach]

so i need to persuade them with an aviary?

[Lady G]

Wow, they are cute!! So little...how big will they get? I could never have one when I lived at home, so I always played with a friend of mines...well they were a ball pythons, but it was sooo funny ppl use to freak out when we would take them outside with us and have them around our necks and arms and stuff. Now I no longer live at home but still can not have any cause well the hubby says no way:angryfire:

Anyway, keep postin pics!!

very neat

hmm how easy to care for are we talking about? my DSM is pressing me to start carrying snakes in the store but they seem like a pain in the butt when they are little.

khuli, if he's having issues with live things becoming pets (which i totaly get, i have 3 pet rats and used to have pet mice) you could bring up feeding the snake frozen pinkies, fuzzies, or mice. Kinda gross but you don't have to worry about hurting a live creature or becoming attached to the snakes dinner.

no he considers the dead/frozen pinkies even more saddening for some reason.

aw, i guess you're out of luck then

[kuhliloach]

aw, i guess you're out of luck then

thanks for the help, i know you tried.

[the fox]

Hey kulki have u every heard of a egg eaters or rough green snake?

Guys go back to my photo bucket, its now not for the faint hearted

[kuhliloach]

what kind of eggs do they need?

[the fox]

Can't really remember but i think they can live on quail and chicken eggs. I think if you have a small on you might need to start breeding finches.

I know some stores(normally oriental markets) have quail eggs.

[KingOfTheDeep]

what happened to your birds?

[NeonFlux]

You got me to thinking corn flakes...

nice corn snakes. I'm born in the year of the snake. So that makes me a snake too. :D

[the fox]

Kukli i live in africa and im think theres only 5% of african that can go on PC.
i.e i don't have a clue about ordering anything online.
But if you are really into animals you could also breed button quails, they are real cool but im don't think you will get as many eggs from them compared to quails.

But i guess its easier to order.


King, great and not so great news, all my birds are fine and even better news that my two FEMALE kakaricks have laid 17 eggs so i now have a very successful breeding pair but i think its going to be a pain in the a$$ to sell them.

King i give u 10 out of 10 for your avatar
