lol!! He's hungry. Poor little guy. Feeding day was thursday but I'm waiting until he sheds (should be any day now). His stomach went milky last sat and the eyes went blue on wed. Sooooo...
Funny though, I turned for just a second and when I felt him move, I looked and he was going straight for the cheese. I also made the cheese to mouse connection. :laugh:

Max doesn't eat when he's in shed? I have 1 (the butter striped/mot female) that wont either. I don't handle her either when she's ready to shed as she is elusive enough regularly. She's fine once you get ahold of her, she just tries her best not to be found. Neither of my butter mots like the hides, they stick to the aspen, but the male seems to be the sweeter soul of the two.
yes...one lovely spring...
day i was hangin' out with my neigbor jaime on the front porch. i took norbert out for some play time and jaime really grew attached to him quickly. she asked me "does he ever poo on you?" i said, "no, he's been very good." a little while later she went inside and within two minutes he dooked all over my leg, ahhahahahah! it was so funny. it was as if he heard her ask and decided that he would be mischievious and let it go on me.

oh my goodness now i have a few and it involves in my snakies getting stuck somewhere.
my male, scales, got stuck down the edge of my radiator, was trying to clean his poop out and he kept laying in it so i put him on my bed and the next minute he was wedged down the edge, lol
my female, missy, had got stuck down the inside of our settee, not my fault though, my dad was handling her at the time and wasnt looking where she was heading to.
i used to have a black rat snake who got stuck in our garden swinging hammock once.
my female, skitzy, got stuck around my bra strap once too, very embarrassing as my mum wont go near them so i had to ask my dad for help, she had got herself in a knot and it took ages to get her tight coils unwrapped from me. lol
all in all though, everyone we had to rescue from their tight little spaces did not get harmed or damaged in any way thankfully. lol

Similar story... I was holding one of my snakes but needed to leave soon because I had to go to an appointment. She had weaved herself in and around the belt loops of my jeans and it took me forever to get her out and I was eventually late to my appointment.
Another one... I went outside to take natural photos of one of my males. I put him in the tree outside the house and took a bunch of pictures. When I went to get him out of the tree he would not let go. I'd get him uncoiled a bit with one hand, but then because branches were in the way, I'd have to let go a bit to try to reposition him. By the time I could get my hand around the branch he would grab back on. It was horrible! I eventually got him off by resigned myself to sacrificing a small branch because I figured it would be better to break off the branch rather than risk him getting further wrapped around the tree. I had to have been out there for a good half hour struggling with him.

Here is one....
When at home, I usually carry my Female Okeetee around with me...she likes to wrap around my wrist and rest her head on the back of my hand. She will stay that way for ages. Anyway, one morning I picked her up and she wrapped around my wrist, and I went about lightly cleaning around my apartment and doing some other things. Then I get ready to head out the grocery store. I left the apartment and got in the car...By the time I got there, I noticed that I still had Slither on my wrist. I laughed my arse off. Beings I was already at the store, I just went in with her still attached to my arm. I got some of the weirdest looks I have ever received. I had a group of about 15 kids following me by the time I was ready to check out. I thought that it was hilarous.

One time I had my snakes out downstairs. We have a small tree which is placed in a quite large ceramic bowl that one of my snakes likes to go in. We put him at the top of the tree and he will explore it or maybe just sit there. Anyway we put him in one day and he went right down to the bottom and into the ceramic bowl, we thought to just leave him in there if he was happy. When it was time to put him away I pulled the tree out with the smaller pot it's planted in and looked into the ceramic bowl to see my little snake half shed! He recoiled and it was almost as if you could see him saying, "Argh don't look I'm half naked!". I couldn't put the tree back in without squishing him but he needed something rough to rub against in there. I ended up putting my empty yoghurt pot that I had just finished in there and covering the bowl with a newspaper to wait for him to shed.
All these stories really show us how spoiled our babies are!

I had a worrysome story turn funny, which is always the best way. A LOOOONG time ago (back when I could count the snakes I had on one hand), I had accidentally left the water bowl over the heat tape in my hatchling's tank. It got so moist in the tank that the sticker themometer unpeeled from the wall and ended up stuck to my hatchling! Late for work of course, my husband and I frantically soaked the little fella, gently pulling away as much of the themometer as we could. When we got half of the themometer sticker off, I cut it so it would not get in the way, threw it on the bed and continued to work the rest of it off. As soon as we got him free, we jumped in our truck and went off to work. I dropped off my husband, and as I watched him walk away I noticed that he must have sat on the first half of the themometer, because it was stuck to his rear! What was even funnier was that it was registering at 86 degrees! :rofl: I tried my hardest to let him walk into work like that, but I just couldn't bring myself to be that mean. I had to honk the horn to bring him back. My husband was really grateful I stopped him, and was quite flattered that I was checking out his bum. :dgrin:

Gotta love those herps
Funny moments...
I haven't had many of those, but the one I have had was were my ornery male snake, Adam, crawled up my robe sleeve
. I had not had him for a very long time, but I was comfortable handling him. He crawled up my sleeve, across my waist, and into the other sleeve. At that point I really wanted him out because I needed to go somewhere.... As I reached in there I realized that there was no getting him out. :sobstory: He was somehow hanging on to the fabric, and no amount of gentle pulling was ever going to dislodge him. In the end, I think I had to take the robe off so I could get a better angle at him... He was probably in there for about a half hour. :eek1: To future handlers, I stronly advise against letting your corn crawl up your sleeves.

i love my Maizie!
i'd have to disagree with that last one!...i love letting my corn crawl thru my sleaves...& she is very comfy there...she also likes my cleavage! :grin01:
the other day i was on the computer with Maizie climbing all over me...i went to put er away & realized that she was so twined in my hair...that there was no getting her out...so i let her stay and went to make dinner...Robin came home and was very amused at the sight of me cooking dinner with a little snake head peering out over the top of my head!...she finally untangled Maizie and put er away...she said 'try explaining how our snake got into our dinner to the folks on the cornsnake chat!' ..so she untangled her rather than have her untangle herself and fall into the pan! :eek1:

I too got my snake caught in my hair, it was past my waist at the time, I guess he thought it was some sort of jungle. Usually my husband would help me but alas he was at work and I didn't want to impersonate the medusa, so... as I was trying to get him out I noticed he just kinda disappeared into the air, as I looked up I noticed him looking down at me from the light fixture in the kitchen, talk about arboreal! It took me another 45 min to get him down... he was very happy up there!
