I joined the forum yesterday because I had some questions on eggs we found in with our Corns. I was given some advice and have separated the three into their owns vivs. I posted pics of our three in the thread in the breeding section but I'll repost them here.
This is Draco, our first Corn and my favorite. He's in the 4-1/2 to 5' range. He has this thing about feeding. He will constrict the food when offered, however after that he will not eat it until you cover the feeding tank with a blanket or towel or something. I guess he likes his privacy, LOL.
I've been feeding him one rat frozen at normal adult mouse size every 14 days. I'm thinking I will have to switch back to mice because of the extra fat from the rat.
Lucious is our second boy. He's my wifes favorite. He has no problems eating out in the open and does do one thing none of our other three do when eating also. He likes to lift his head up in the air when he's about to pass the back legs through his jaw and I guess, let gravity help? LOL.
Our third is Bellatrix (I'm sure you figured out where our kids came up with the names by now right?). We ended up with her because a friends girlfriend wasn't comfortable with the quickness of Corns in comparison to her Balls. So we bought her so she wouldn't have to put her up for sale on KSL. She is the only one who has struck me and drawn blood, although it was my fault. I accidentally dropped the mouse when we were feeding her and reflexively reached to pick it up just as she struck at it. She really is a sweet heart like our others though and we are glad we could give her a good home. She's my eldest daughters favorite.
Oh and this was Lucious when we first bought him.
And Draco when we first bought him.
I think what attracted me to owning Corns was the array of different colors and markings you could get. We were looking to buy a snake as a pet and the Corns Snakes were where we started. Since, we now own the three Corns and my wife bought herself a Ball Python because it was the kind of snake she has wanted for a very long time.
Well, thanks all for reading
