It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I figured I might as well update on a few of the exciting things that have happened this year. Unfortunately this has not been a great year for my collection - starting in January a whole variety of problems started to crop up that I had never...

So yesterday at the Hamburg show I acquired a new snake - one that I haven't actually seen at the shows before (though I may have simply overlooked them!). I was rather excited, and I want to show him off, but first I want to see if anyone can identify him! So here are a few pictures (head not...

Well, the Hamburg, PA show got me again. I've managed to make it through two years of shows without buying any animals, but today I finally gave in. I passed an aquarium full of hatchling corns for $15 each - who could resist?! I saw some little guys in there with gorgeous bloodred head...

This is my first clutch from parents who weren't classics! I was very excited for the outcome, hoping to prove out my ghost's possible amel het. But what I ended up with was somewhat unexpected... Parents: Opal het. 50% Motley x Ghost het. Stripe 66% Caramel 50% Amel Hatchlings 1, 3 and 4...

So quite frankly, I've looked up lots of ways to convert a snake from eating live to eating frozen/thawed - I've tried several. But I have a very stubborn baby. Two, actually. Neither are corn snakes, but I figure advice on corn snakes may help. What would you do with an extremely stubborn 2...

This year I was lucky enough to have a late clutch of eggs from one of my younger females. Out of six eggs, three have hatched and quite frankly, I'm a bit confused! Here's the pairing: Opal 50% het. Motley x Ghost het. Stripe 66% Caramel 50% Amel. The phenotypes of the three hatchlings are 2...

Well, it really has been a while since I've posted an update on any of my snakes. My patience wears thin trying to photograph animals that won't sit still, so often I find myself simply giving up. But even despite my frustration, I've still managed to take a few decent close-ups recently, so...

I suddenly realized that I haven't posted my own thread in almost three months, so I figured it was time for a little update! Given that my collection in Kingston is half of what I have back in Pennsylvania, I can't provide updates on everyone, but I figured I might as well at least try to get...

I already posted another thread about the other little guy I picked up at the Hamburg show, so this one is due for some acknowledgement. But I am a bit curious about him as well. Outback has had house snakes for a while, but I don't recall seeing this species, only inornatus, something they have...

Well, today was quite exciting. I didn't actually steal anything, but I kind of feel like I did. As I'm sure many in my area are aware, the Hamburg show was today. I didn't think I'd be home for it, but alas I was. Aside from needing mice and such, I was also sort of half looking for a cheap...

I think I may try to start some decent progression threads for some of my more interesting snakes. But right now I'm really just looking for an excuse to introduce one of my new snakes - 0.1 opal, Adèle. She's set to hopefully be a mate for my lavender het. blood, Jasper, although I'm not...

Over the past two years I've been building on my corn collection, and I recently noticed that about half of my future breeders are homozygous for anerythrism. So I decided why not post a little thread comparing them all? First up is Carla! I've had her for almost two years now, and she was my...

Well, it has certainly been a while since I've been able to upload any photos, mainly due to the fact that I haven't been home! Regardless, here are a few pictures of some of the boys in my collection. When I finish getting updated photos of everyone I'll post them. Langdon - '09 Pewter (19.8...

Much to my excitement, I got to go home last week! I tried to take as many pictures as possible of my snakes, but the little buggers hate sitting still. Regardless, I did get a few shots! Neo - July 2008 Classic (60.15 g) Atticus - July 2008 Classic (27.85 g) Charlie - July 2008 Classic...

I figured I'd grab a couple shots of my babies eating as I fed them today. Jasper didn't mind at all that I was right up close and personal with my huge camera...and huge self, too hahaha I got a picture of Fuji before he decided to drop his mouse, and I'm waiting for him to eat now. At any...
