Wade, that's the guy who drank the cup of thawing mice, instead of his drink, right? LOL
People have been trying to hunt down Wade for about a year now. He's vanished.
We could talk about how much I hate that there's a hurricane coming, Wednesday. Maybe Tuesday night. Headed straight for Rich!
I was hoping the hurricane would dissipate to just a tropical rainstorm. After Irma I asked on the forum if anyone knew if you were safe, but nobody responded. I hope you guys make it through this one with no damage.
I'm a new guy here. Just got my first Okeetee a week ago. First feeding was last night. I just want to say thank you for all the help I've gotten so far. I'm learning a lot reading the older posts about care and feeding. Don't know if I'll ever get into breeding but I definitely want a second snake.
Okeetee's is the perfect "first" corn. Three babies from this year :grin01:
After the storm passed I loaded the corns back into the racks, but noticed I had put a young male lavender and a young male coral ghost together in the same container. Unfortunately, the lavender has a pink background color like the coral ghost, and the coral ghost has a lavender tint to his saddles. So I checked the eyes and found both males looked the same. Then I checked the belly patterns and, you guessed it, both appear the same. I'm waiting for them to mature so hopefully I can tell them apart.
I've been able to tell look-a-likes apart by weight.
I really wasn't sure how I would take it when I decided to retire the business, but honestly, it is quite nice not having a bunch of animals dependent on us.
It's funny but until I started going to the reptile shows I didn't realize how many people kept snakes in your area.
. . . I definitely want a second snake.
I don't know of many people around here, but we're kind of close-mouthed about the collection. I guess I'm paranoid about getting burglarized if I tell people what I have. Actually, no one, other than a couple family members (and you guys, of course), even know I have snakes.
I don't know if the Taylor reptile expo was around when you were here. We usually go each month, just to look around, and chat with a few people. Snake people are weird!

It's neat to see so many people having so many different animals. I can certainly see how snakes can be addicting...can't wait to add a second corn to the household.. Never thought I would get into snakes..
I'm also new. Where we are people avoid your house if they know you have snakes. Our nanny refused to clean our room for a while after we first got snakes.I don't know of many people around here, but we're kind of close-mouthed about the collection.
