Hi there all, my name is Tobie and, like Chalk, I'm also from Pretoria located in the very beautiful country South Africa. I'm 24 years old and currently have a collection of 18 corns. I have just finished my degree at the University of Pretoria in computer engineering.

My interest with corns started almost 4 years ago when one of my best friends at university bought himself a female sunglow corn snake. Wow she was beautiful! So I started to play with her and came to the enlightening reality that they aren't really aggressive like everyone believes and further encouraged by movies such as ANACONDA!! They're actually quite cute :)

We decided to start buying corns together (though we do not anymore today) in order to have more corns collectively. Anyway, to make a very long story short..I ended up with my own collection of 18 corns en counting. I've got normals, ghost, charcoals (I hope since they do not show any yellow although I know that is not a definite proof), reverse okeetees, caramels, normal motley, ghost motleys, silver motleys, snow motley, hypo motleys and an amel motley.

This year is my very first time breeding with some of these corns and it has thus far been successful making me a proud "daddy" of 41 eggs (currently being incubated).
 
To echo Mike's sentiment, "Welcome Aboard". Good luck on those clutches! You'll have to keep us posted on those eggs.

Welcome! I'm relatively new here myself and just got my first corn several weeks ago. I wanted to say hi because I also studied at the University of Pretoria as an international student several years and have worked or studied in South Africa periodically since then, most recently this past summert at UCT. I'll be there again this summer running a summer program for American graduate students in public health. It's a beautiful place! Glad to see there are people there who are into corns as well!

Take care,
Karen
