Hi everyone,

I'm Cat and I am a 31-year old library tech student from Saskatoon, Canada. I am a longtime snake enthusiast who just got my first pet snake from a classmate who needed to rehome her 2 year old corn. He is teeny for his age, only about 18 inches long and a little skinny and has been fed every 5-7 days since she got him.

He was last fed a small fuzzy on Friday, moved in with us on Saturday, and just ate his first meal with us tonight. He had a fantastic feeding response and made fairly quick work of the small fuzzy.

I'm really excited about him and I am hoping to get him growing faster by feeding him every 3-4 days and moving up to slightly bigger prey in time. I knew that he was ready for a feed tonight because he was stalking my fingertips when I was holding him. He was also coiling around my hand and wrist and squeezing, which probably should have tipped me off to a feeding behaviour.

I'll be reading and asking lots of newbie questions. I look forward to getting to know you.

Sorry, dude. I'm going to be a broke student until the end of May, so I probably won't be able to afford a camera until at least late summer. As soon as I get one, there will be a picspam. ;) My little snakeypants may be small, but he is beautiful.
