Well, I really don't know. I have intentions to, but if I don't do it SOON, it would be a moot issue because the babies will be hatching out by then.

I was considering doing a major upgrade to the site because the shopping cart program is way out of date. But I don't know if I could handle the inevitable bugs that would result at this time of year. But the new version has a "cookie cutter" function that would be a Godsend to me. With the version I have now, I have to cut and past every "product" and then modify it with the sex ratio stuff. Real pain in the butt and rather time consuming.

So while I have been debating what to do, time has been marching on...... :shrugs:

Perhaps make do with the version you have until things slow down (even if that's not till fall/winter), and then upgrade when you have time and are far less busy?

Well all I will say about that one is that I have NEVER killed a snake in my care out of anger or frustration. Thought about it MANY times, but I have a lot of self control, apparently........

But I did take a snake and throw him (literally!) out into the bushes in the yard once. :grin01:

did you get it back or let it go wild?
 
LOL! Well you need to understand the circumstances.

I was packing up for the Daytona Beach show and I was already stressed out to the max. I opened this cage to bag up the snake (anerythristic, I think), and he came out of there all fire and brimstone. Sucker nailed me about a dozen times quick as lightning, then dove out of the cage, on the floor, and wedged himself inside of a cabinet. I'm trying to get him out and the entire time he's playing like a black racer on mean pills. Probably got 30 bites all total on my arms from this blankety-blank snake. My wife comes over to the building and hears me cussing up a storm. She said my face was as red as a beet and she was afraid I was going to have a heart attack. So when I finally got that *censored* out I just balled him up in my hands, opened the door and THREW his ass out. It was only his good luck that he landed in the bushes as I really didn't aim at all. I just wanted that sucker OUT of my life and gone.

Of course, one of my workers came in a little later and said he saw what looked like one of my corns crawling around outside. He was probably repentant by then, but tough. He was on his own then. Dodge the owls and other predators, I could not care less. He's just lucky he didn't get bon voyaged down the toilet........ :uzi:

Now that's a funny story right there!! Apparently that snake didn't learn not to bite the hand that feeds you! I'm amazed in the years you've been doing this, it's only been one!

Most bites are feed response related. I very seldom ever get one that just cops an attitude. That one mentioned above just went off the deep end.

There was another one a while back that bears mentioning. A Ghost corn, I think. I was at a show and putting adults into the display cages to sell them and this Ghost just reared back and was striking at everything that moved. He was good as gold prior to that, but for some reason I think he got highly offended when he realized I was selling him. And it wasn't bluff, either. He was out for blood. I took him off of display and got bitten several times. He actually would even bite right through the bag, which I have NEVER seen a corn snake do before. Some guy came by to look over the adults and I mentioned this pissed off snake and he sounded interested, saying he liked snakes with a little fire to them. If I remember correctly, I GAVE him the snake as I didn't want to take him back home with me.

So yeah, every once in a while a corn snake can turn on you.
