I am a new member of the Cornsnakes.com community and would like to share a little about myself. I have been a reptile enthusiast for many years. I bred a variety of colubrids for about twelve years, then took a ten-year hiatus from the hobby, and have now returned. It is amazing to see what has been accomplished with, and learned about, corns in the last ten years! Well, I am back in the active enthusiast role. I also have taught in the biological sciences for the past 25 years and hold a strong belief that young people today, perhaps more that ever, need to develop a keen interest in the natural world. I look forward to being part of this community. Thank you. rana888
