This will be the first Corn Snake that I own. I had lot of reptiles when I was a kid, turtles, iguanas, and other kinds of lizards, but no snakes. My mom was terrified of them. I also teach 8th grade science and thought it would be a cool classroom pet. I plan on taking him home on the weekends I went with an Extreme Okeetee from cherryvillereptiles. Thoughts? Just thought I'd stop by and say hi. I am lookin' forward to getting my Okeetee!
Welcome!!! I am still pretty new, but this place is great! If you have any questions, there are always amazing people with a lot of experience more than willing to help you. (And Okeetees are BEAUTIFUL!!)
Welcome! I'm new too, and so far this has been a great community, lots of helpful friendly people. I've seen pictures of extreme Okeetees and they're really striking. Congrats on the new addition.
Thanks. Would you recommend getting a hatchling, juvenile, or yearling/adult? I know the hatchlings require more care and work, but what would you guys recommend?
If you want a snake that is already handle-able, go with a yearling/adult. Hatchlings may be nippy and nervous, and since you are going to be a teacher, you might want a snake that doesn't get lost so easily! Extreme okeetees are indeed beautiful!
Thanks for the prompt reply anery. Would getting a hatchling be more beneficial in the long run in terms of knowing me better and thus allowing me to handle her easily?
I do not have much experience at all...but I got a hatchling and he/she is WONDERFUL! He/she was never nippy or hard to handle. I know we probably got really lucky, but it can happen!
Thanks. I asked for one just a bit bigger than a hatchling but not quite yet an adult (a juvenile?) I am expecting to get her on Tuesday. Are two thermometers, one for each side of the tank, really necessary or would one suffice? I bought one from Walmart but I am wondering if I should go back and get another. Thanks for all the help fellas. I really like this place.
