Boy don't times change

I'm a new member. And mostly will be doing a lot of watching and listening, (after my first few sentences). Times have certainly changed. Meaning since I brought my first Eastern Milk Snake to school in a jar in fifth grade in 1973. Been keeping snakes ever since. Even went on to get a Zoology degree, with an emphasis in herpetology. No not bragging, just bringing some credibility. I used to spend most of my time in the woods, and driving dark country roads at night in summer time (early 1980's), and kept only native/caught rat snakes, milk snakes, and even a Western Pygmy Rattler who had 5 babies in the summer of 1980.
This site is a beautiful site. I am new to the manipulated patterns, colors, and associated genes. And there are some beauties. I have found the morph progression threads and am mesmerized.
My first discovery of the beauty of Corn Snakes was unfortunately a dead one in a creek bed in Kentucky in the summer of 1973, ambushed, bitten, and about to be eaten by a cottonmouth. I brought it home and examined it and turned it over and over until it was pretty stinky.
Finding this site and this group of people is a much greater reception than I got in 5th grade back in 1973, and much more gratifying than the lifeless orange beauty my mom had to finally tell me to get rid of.
Glad to be here.
 
Welcome, there's a heck of a lot of interesting reading here to keep you busy and it's not all cornsnakes.
 
Hello and welcome! :wavey: I'm looking forward to hearing more about your experiences!
 
Howdy and welcome. I'm new to the "sport" of corn snake keeping and this forum. Some really nice, courteous and professional folks on here with some great advice. Looking forward to hearing what you might have to share!
 
welcome, I'm just 21 but I still remember the good ol' days of keeping local snakes and salamanders for observing them and letting them go, I'm the grandson of a well known naturalist David Carroll so my relationship with reptiles and amphibians is probably more old school than most my age, but from the time I was about 11-17 my mom was married to a guy that did'nt exactly share my love of reptiles, plus not having internet access really made me go through a long hyatis of learning about reptiles, but when I was finally able to get back into the hobby now having internet access I was blown away too with all of the morphs and reptiles people could keep as pets, I can totally relate to you.
 
Welcome! One of the things that's great about here is not having to suffer 'the look' when you show off pictures of your corns!
 
Oh, just noticed you live in Baton Rouge! I am from BR and still visit usually once a month.
