Progression Thread - Levi the Snow

Them genetics confuse me, hah. When I first saw Levi, his box was labeled as "Snow Corn Snake". From what I have read, Snow is just an easier way to say, "Amel-Anery".

Anywho, I discovered the links for scaled images, now that I'm home from work. here's the missing pictures since I cannot edit my original post.


The danger noodle himself.


Noobie tub!

Since I am planning to move him to the 20gal tank this weekend and he's due to feed this Friday, should I wait until he's settled in the tank?

Whoa!

Thank you for your in-depth knowledge on cornsnake morphology! You make a genuinely interesting point about albinos, a term I associate with red eyes, but then again it does appear as you said, ALL of my critters might NOT be what I think they are!

Another interesting point is that Ozzy & the other hatchlings who sadly didn't survive may have been from different fathers, since Bozo also mated with Lilly last spring, and even though they were from the same clutch! Would love to continue this discussion on another thread, as I know I will get valid info from here as opposed to the homegrown herpeculturists and herpetologists whom I got my babies from and whom I also should never have assumed really knew what they were talking about when they informed me what morph my Cornsnakes actually were! (Have to learn from somewhere, so it should be from the brains of experts as many of you seem to be on this site).

Oh yeah, Cinnabunbun: I would wait till your little guy got settled into his new home before feeding him. Why have him adjust to new surroundings with a huge meal digesting in his little belly? He's a cute little critter!

Thank you! I got Levi last Saturday, and I contacted the breeder about feeding info, he was last fed on the 17th on pinkies. I asked her if it's okay to feed him (on the 24th, following Sunday) because that seemed like a long time for a hatchling like him.

Okay second feeding is done. I noticed that his body is a bit on the thin side, when I took this picture of him going nom on the pinkie.



Sorry for the potato/blurry quality, I was in a hurry to take a snap of the photo.
But I'm sure that he'll be fine in due time with consistent feeding and round out a bit.

He does look a little on the thin side, but most hatchlings do, especially only after a couple of meals. The main thing is that he IS eating, take it from me, that's the most important thing right now! So if he ate on the 24th, he should be due about now, especially if you're not going to move him into his new crib till Monday. If you were going to move him tonight, I would say to hold off feeding for a day or two.

I wish you two a long & happy life together!

BTW, Levi looks EXACTLY like one of my hatchings from last year who didn't make it, unfortunately. His name was Noodles! I may have a picture but I'd have to dig it up, I mean SPITTING IMAGE!

Levi looks very serious about that pinky! That's a good thing

Looks like I misunderstood your last post. Sorry! I thought you meant the picture was of his second feeding which was on the 24th. My bad. I'm not the sharpest knife in the dishwasher at the end of the week!

Handling pics! He's comfortable in my hands (and hair and glasses.) but he's constantly trying to explore. He likes to hang on my head as I walk around a bit. :\ What am I? His steed?

Please excuse the messy bedroom, been organizing alot of stuff to make room for more stuff.




Levi's so.. translucent! I can literally see everything.


-levi intensifies-

Very cute pics! I know what you mean with the glasses. As a large adult (almost 5 ft) Jag still loves to pull my glasses down by coiling around them

Thank you~ I guess he wants to be my eyes. Also should I be concerned that he hasn't pooped for me from the last two feedings? Or is he just retaining his meal really well. His bedding doesn't smell the least bit funky to me.
