GiantBlueberry Lexcorn, thankyou.

You are welcome Jessica.

GiantBlueberry I was slowly beginning to fear that I would no doubt have a 5+ foot monster on my hands when he was full grown.

Yes, I too would have believed that if I did not handle the animal sufficiently then by maturity both he/she & I would be quite unfamiliar with one another. However, I had the fortune of purchasing a pair of sub-adult Hypomelanistic Hondos. at the same time as a Ghost hatchling.

The sub-adults were a little 'twitchy' because of a change of environment, however, they became quite relaxed over a short period of time.

You state that he does musk & 'latch on' occasionally...........hmmm, again it may be that he is sensing your own tense feelings & he too feels unsafe.

Thus, if you become a little less anxious over your animal, your more 'chilled' attitude will be sensed by your Honduran & behavioural changes will evolve.

Good luck & most of all enjoy (if only from afar at present) the species!

Lex

I was wondering when you would post your big guy here. Your posts did inspire me to eventually get one.

I think that might be part of it. A friend was visiting awhile back and although I warned him that he's not quite as easy to handle as my corns my friend went for it. He was completley calm and the snake was too. Hardly any jerking. I think I'm just a little too nervous. Even though it seems silly maybe I'll start handling him with gloves on for awhile just so I feel a bit more "safe". It's not even that I'm really too woried about bites though, I'm more scared that I'm going to drop him or if he bites me I'll jerk my hand and drop him.
He's probably learning that he can go right back to his hide when he freaks out on me.

Thanks again for the advice!

Wrong section was noted, and still everyone who noted it is continuing to banter and share pics of non-corns in the corn section. Oh how ironic life can be sometimes. Lets try to set a good example by breaking the rules.

Ohh...if we only had active mods who could move posts to the appropriate places when it was deemed necessary.

Besides if people would actually read before posting, it clearly states: General stuff about keeping and maintaining cornsnakes in captivity. New people should be able to read, I would think. =)

Misty, I would never have considered that you would post as above. It is a fact that I do not know you well, nor am I ever likely to judging by your input to this thread.

You need only glance at the Avatar to note a low posting figure. This is because I only add to a thread when I feel that I have something of value to say.

In point, I do not have 1,000+ posts saying "Oh gee, that's cool" & similar, within a short period of around 6 months of joining.

Whilst I agree with you that the responses are, indeed, in the wrong category...........as in life, sometimes errors occur.

An addition to the thread with a civilized reminder would have been adequate.

Waves at lexcorn and agrees by the way your 06 link is not working or was not when I clicked it to see what you had. Though as I will be seing them in person soon I guess I can wait.
