Hi,
I've posted pics of my two beautiful snakes already in the photos section, but thought I'd introduce myself here (that and its 3:00 am the night before Christmas and I can't sleep). I'm new to corn snakes, but have been reading about them on this site and others for a little while now. I got my first little girl at the Hamburg show in December. She's a young (09 I think) fire. I got to she and hold her mom at the show and I was hooked. She was really the only corn snake I had intended to get. Until I saw this boy (the second one in the pictures) in a craigslist add. I just really couldn't resist, because he was the color I had always really wanted and he was free. Thank you to all those who posted under the other threat your opinions on his morph. Right now she's in a 10 gallon and he's in a 20L. Both are eating really well and seem to not really mind being handled. I feel really lucky as a beginner to have two such beautiful animals and will probably be posting with lots of future questions!

Hi Alan,
Thank you for the snake comment. I'm actually from the southeast where we get an occasional bear sighting, but the name came because I just happen to like bears. Not a pet I would want though. It could give you brain worm. But I digress. Anybody else here from the PA/NJ area?
 
That's where I'm from. Kind of south-central, next to Hershey, Harrisburg. I figured north, but we also had very infrequent black bear sightings.
 
Yes, I took the pics. They were taken at Bear World, a nature park not too far away from where I live. I was only about 15' from the babies. You can drive through the part where the big bears are in your car, your supposed to keep your windows up & they also have a big tall tour bus you can take. We did both. If you do the bus, you get to feed the bears. I think most of the big bear pics I got were taken from the bus, so they aren't very good. They had handed me one of the trays of food, so I had that & my camera to hold, you stand on a railing about 1' wide in the bus & they drive real slow, still it's somewhat hard to balance. But they tell you at the start not to drop anything over the side, camera, sunglasses, ballcaps ect. because they will not stop & retreive them right then. Later one of the keepers would try to find it, but the bears like to play with that kind of thing, so you probably wouldn't get it back in the condition you lost it. So the whole time I was trying to take pics, I'm picturing dropping my camera, the food tray or both.
 
Sounds like quite the balancing act Tavia. Nice pictures though. This guy was about 200 ft outside my porch when I went camping up in northern PA. It's a bit intimidating when you're that close and know one swipe of that powerful paw could do some serious damage.

Neat pic. That's where we saw them, hunting camp near Wellsboro. The closest I ever came to one without being in a vehicle was across a cut cornfield (as far as I know).
