Hello. New to the forum and just acquired a pair of baby corns. I used to enjoy the company of corn snakes years ago but, due to moving, had to give them up. Now, after buying my own home, I decided a house needed some corn snakes to be a home. So I recently got a pair. As they just moved in a couple of days ago I didn't want to freak them out with the camera so I don't have the best pictures of them yet, but here they are. Leonard is and Okeetee I believe (though correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still an amature enthusiast) and my suspicion is that he may be a she, but is still too young for me to be certain. Sheldon is, I believe, Anerythristic. So I just wanted to introduce myself and my two new friends to the forum!
LOVE the names you've given your snakes!! Now you need three more...Raj, Howard, and Penny!! (a friend of mine actually has a Leonard and Penny)
Looks like a normal and an anery to me. Very nice, clean colors on the normal.
As for the sex of your kiddos, you can try to find a pet shop that is experienced with reptiles that could pop or probe them for you. Reptile vets will also do it, but generally charge at least a visit fee to do so, so it would probably run you about $40. I don't know how comfortable you'd feel popping them yourself (they both appear to be small enough to safely pop...Leonard might potentially be a bit too old, but it's hard to tell from that pic), but you can watch Kathy Love's tutorial on popping on her website (cornutopia.com).
O hahahahhahaha I never thought about the names lol!!!!! omgz thats the best idea ever!!!!!! Hmmmmm I need to name mine from a show.......I think im gona go with Two and a half men or *!$@ my dad says.
Thanks Hallie! So a Normal and a Anerythristic huh? Well, at least I got one right
Actually, I can't take credit for the names. My girlfriend picked them out, although I am a fan of the show as well.
I guess I'm not too concerned with the gender, as I don't intend to breed them (but I wont be upset if it happens). I just didn't want to give one of them a complex by calling a female a boy's name. I'll probably have my vet check that out for me when I bring them in.
Well, an Okeetee is a type of normal, so you were close!
The friend with Leonard and Penny didn't really pick out the names either, I did. :laugh: When he bought a cute little amel motley, his niece wanted to call her 'Hiss' and I suggested Penny. It wasn't until he was watching an episode of Big Bang that he understood where I got the name from. Now he's buying an anery from me and decided to name him Leonard.
Are they living in the same tank (that's the impression I get from 'I won't be upset if it happens'). If so, please do a search for 'cohabbing' and then decide whether keeping them together is to your liking. Some people do it, most don't due to the risks, but it is a personal decision. I won't lie, my first two were cohabbed, but I separated them after a clutch of unexpected eggs when my female was far too young. Luckily she handled it well and suffered no ill effects. And if they aren't cohabbed, sorry for my assumption!
