Repta (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72540) aka Marc has had corns since he was 10. Can you help him decide the morph of his new baby?

ReptiGuy (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72586) came to cs.com after being recommended to us by someone at a NARBC show. Welcome Nick!

maneatingmoo (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72622) has decided on a corn snake - a great new hobby to add to his existing pastime of growing carnivorous plants.

william prejean (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72620) has four corns, and is going to attempt his first clutch in 2009.

kyle'scorns (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72024) doesn't have any snakes yet, but he has big plans for lots in the future...

ThisFireBurns (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72708) has a new albino corn, Skiba, and has shared some photos of her other pets too. How cute is that bunny rabbit! (and I'm sure some members will be commenting on how cute she is too!)

michael couture (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72786) has a big collection of snakes already, and posted a fab link to his grandfather's art gallery.

ptbmaniac (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72764) has started off in style, with a South Mountain Reptile Candy Cane.

blackcrystal22 (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72728) posted some great pictures of her animal gang.

poodlelover2you (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72761) joined to find some information on corns ... and sadly found out they were illegal where she lived. What bad luck :(

kpsammy (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72835) just bought her first creamsicle corn, and now can't wait to buy a second.

TigerLilyLeos (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72815) and her mix of pets joined from Phoenix, Arizona, and she has some questions on telling sex via tail tapering ...

Tweek (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71339) ended up with a new baby corn after being dragged to an expo by his friend. Sounds like a good friend to me!

Druantia (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72884) has a gorgeous baby snow corn named Pandora, and is another one to have that GMS (get more snakes) bug that's going round.

csingleman (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72482) owns a two year old albino corn snake who's been making some squeaky sounds recently. Any ideas welcomed.

MODERATOR OF THE WEEK

Susan is our protector this week (http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72826). This quote shows the lengths she's willing to go to, to keep us safe:

"Just to let everyone know...at least this moderator will be watching this thread to make sure Jeff's freaky one-eyed snake doesn't get out of hand."

Thanks Susan!


MORE SERIOUSLY ...

Read this a while back
It made me smile and giggle
Why don't you look too?

That's it folks. Hope you enjoyed. Any feedback welcomed :)

Great WIR. Nice choice of pictures.

I missed that anery sunkissed! Holy moly rocky!!! That is gorgeous!!!!! And of course, so is the lavablood.

My haiku is post #159, BTW. How funny, of the five snakes I had to have then, I only have one now, bloodred,and have learned to live without the others. And I bought the cages, and Maizey went in one, and I figured out how to build a tort pen, and Isabel is in the 40!

[Tula_Montage]

Cornsnake hiku thread! That made my day reading it all again :)

[diamondlil]

Nice WIR! I like the 'blast from the past' feature!:cheers:

Great week in review
It was kinda nostalgic
To read the haiku

One small problem though
When I read that thread I start
to think in haiku

Members come and go
Sometimes those old threads can bring
Happy memories

I read this every week to catch up on what I miss. This week I'm scrolling down, took a good look at Brent's platinum...what a beauty!...then saw an Anery Sunkissed head, scrolled down partially and thought...wow, now that's a gorgeous Anery Sunkissed...who produced that beauty? :dunce: Then I read the caption. :dunce:

:D

Thanks for including the pic in this week's WIR...reading the thread again reminded me I have to get those belly shots. :-poke:

Another great WIR...job well done!

I was quite taken by ALL of the anery sunkisseds on that thread - it's an amazing morph isn't it :)

Snuck in here from work
Just to catch up a little
Haiku infected

Great Week in Review
So little time to catch up
Someone please shoot me

[Drizzt80]

Thanks for another great WIR Toyah. Thanks for including my Platinum girl as well! She's really starting to lighten up a ton, and I'm anticipating she's going to end up looking like grandma that Carol has . . . she's obviously different looking, and much lighter, than a "regular ole" Phantom!

Great WIR, thanks. I refuse to rhyme or haiku.

Great job Toyah! I have been away and missed a couple of things. Thanks for bringing me up to date. Again, great job. :cheers:
