I am 23 have been a snake lover all my life but have only owned my own since December 2003. I love all animals I have 3 dogs and a tarantula and have had several Lizards but Dayoh my corn is my baby, I show pictures of him just as often as I do of my 5 year son. When I was younger I caught a grass snake but he wouldn't eat so I let him go. CORN SNAKES ROCK!
