Hi!!! My name is Connie and I got my first corn snake today . He is a baby (born in July) Okeetee....He is just beautiful. I brought him home and put him in his new enclosure (a 20 gallon aquarium) offered him a pinkie mouse and I was surprised how fast he struck that little thing. I think he really enjoyed his meal.
I live in Illinois about 75 miles south of Chicago. My husband and I are owned by 2 dogs, 4 cats 1 baby rosy boa and now 1 corn snake.
We have a 2 year old grand daughter and another one on the way! I work for some people who raise exotic cats...savannahs, bengals and egyptian maus. I think i have the greatest job in the world. I am looking forward to reading the posts on this site and learnig more about the corn snakes. I will post a picture of the little guy sometime in the next few days. Which are bigger in the corn snakes...males or females? I wish my rosy boa would eat as readily as this little corn did. I can't wait to take him out and handle him...I will be a good snake mom and wait a couple of days since he ate a pinky tonight. How often does he need to eat? Thanks everyone....connie, balboa the rosy boa and???? (haven't thought of a name yet)
