Heya! I'm obviously new here but I had been searching/reading/looking @ various posts and pictures from many members on this site for some time now and my goal to purchase a corn snake started to become more visible and much more educated on the what-nots and so on about these little fellows.

My only other snake I had ever owned was a small garden snake caught in the wild, who was released a day or two after. Now due to great persuasion from a friend who owns his fair share of herps, I have purchased my own little corn.

This little guy was born in '08 and purchased from Wyzza, who I may add was extremely patient and responded quickly to any questions or concerns I may have had.

He is a male Anery with no definitive pattern, although he does have a curious shape on his head xD.

Thanks, 50 dollars Canadian. Might be picking another up in August when the once-a-year herp show comes too Montreal lol.
 
Welcome to the forum, that's a neat looking snake. I guess you've already seen all the information you can get here. The great thing is that it is added to every day.
 
Yup, tons added everyday and I guess I feel safer going on people's experiences rather than store-bought books.

Also I was wondering when I should feed him next, I was thinking this weekend or would that be too early and stressful?

There's a couple good books with good info, start with Kathy Love's "Cornsnakes, The Comprehensive Owner's Guide".

Have you left him alone to acclimate to his new surroundings? I think the rule of thumb is one week.
 
Yeah he's already started coming out of his hide and sniffing around. By books I meant the ones sold at the petshop I work with, filled with more pictures than info.
 
Great lookiing snake!! I love the head pattern! It looks like a perfect heart! :0) Welcome to the forum :0)
 
Thanks everyone, he's already started to venture out into his viv so I thought I'd post a new picture as a tiny update of the ice-breaking process with the little guy:

It's a veritcal plant, wit the picture taken from the top, just in case the weird angle seemed....well, weird.
 
Nice little anery there, You can see his little head poking out, mine was shy like that too, but I gave it a little while and now hes always out strolling in the viv from 11pm till I wake up in the morning.
