Hello everyone!
I just brought home a creamsicle yesturday and been doing some research about em well I came across something that said they are a cross between the corn and a rat I just want to get everyone oppion on these things I also read that they are calm and friendly which Iam hope proves to be true she is beatutiful white and more yellow color my fav. But the other thing is is it true do they really have fangs ? I read this and kinda scared me right now she's in her tank just getting acclimated still this is like putting a new toy in your child's room and saying don't touch it lol
Thank in advance
:)
 
Creamsicles are hybrids. They have both Cornsnake blood and Emory Ratsnake blood (to varying degrees/percentage).
They do not have fangs but, of course, do have teeth.
Fact, not opinion.;)
 
Lol thanks so much....but I'm also just curious I have two other corn snakes and this new cream one is alotttt mmore either aware or more nervous I'm not sure which but it pokes it s head up and almost jumps about when sees me

It could be due to a few different things.
Either it is just nervous because it is in a new home (still needs to acclimate), or it has not had a lot of handling during its life, or it is just an individual character trait (not all snakes are the same just as not all people are the same ;) ).
Once it is settled in, and after it gets attention/handling time (some time to a lot of time), it should calm down.

'Course, even the tamest/calmest snakes still retain some of the instincts that all wild snakes have ... fight or flight. Corns & Rats have more of the latter (flight) unless cornered (where they either give in or resort to "fight" ... such as biting). Thus, why you may see some nervous, &/or escape, type behavior when you approach, &/or go to pick up, &/or handle a CB snake.
 
Yess all of those things make sense thank u all and really now u said that too this one is a
Older/bigger too and now I'm worried it'll be hard to get em calm or use tp us because I know it wasn't handled much at all I reallly hope doesn't wanna bite so far I only was able to hold em once but let's me do it ok.
 
Don't be afraid of bites, they really aren't that bad. My new lil "red tailed" boa has already given me a worse bite then most of the bites I got from my adult rat snakes. Of course all those bites were my fault, usually for not paying attention during feeding time ^_~

Also if you do get bitten, DO NOT jerk your hand away, this can injure the snakes mouth, leading to an oral infection, and make the cuts you get even worse. Just wait it out, they tend to let go pretty quickly.

Just remember to be aware, be confidant, and most importantly don't smell like mice, or in the case of kingsnakes, anything edible lol
 
Lol. K thanks so much! Actually I just find it so hillarious that I was soo scared of snakes in general and my husband and son were the ones who tlkd me in to this whole thing but now my dh is more nervous with my new one than me! If someone would've told me that this time this year is be inlove with snakes is say they were crazy. These are my new babies now and just want to give them the best life
 
Snakes/Reptiles are wonderful, and fascinating, creatures.
It is great that you overcame your fear, of snakes, and enjoy having them.:)
