Do you hear them too?
Hello, My name is Stephanie. My husband and I are starting to get into the snake breeding Hobby. (though he has been doing it off and on for 20 years with boas and Burmese). I LOVE Corns! lol He doesnt think to much about them except the fact that he cannot say much "bad" things about the little cuties because of their LONG history.
My first encounter with them was a couple years ago when I went into a pet store looking for more corns ( i already had two baby albinos, pics below, they are almost 2 years old and het for snow, they are still kinda small though because we keep losing resources here in Oklahoma for decent mice). Anyways, there was this butter, she was soooo beautiful, and when i held her, she felt like, well........home. She was so loving, didnt want to leave my shoulders and went straight for the palm of my hand. The owner tried to put her back into her cage and she started to go into my purse! But she was also $130 bux which i didnt have (she was a very healthy looking adult about 3 years old). So i left, came back a month later she was gone
, and ever since i have been HOOKED!
So now I have 4 corns (pics below) , the amels i got when they were only a few weeks old, the male is Houdini, and the female is Lady (sometimes miss priss, sometimes Princess, just depends on her moods lol). I received the other two corns a few months ago, the pet store owner said one was a miami the other was an oketee, but im not for sure.
This coming up monday, I will be getting an adult (male?) pink snow. And As of tomorrow (maybe, im still contemplating) is suppose to be a downpayment for a hurricane snow motley female '04, Zip Motley het snow male '05, and a Sunglow Motley het snow female '04. I wish i would have been smart enough at the time to save the pics of them from kingsnake before the seller took the ad down.
Please excuse some of the "mess" in the pics. Im also an artist and my supplies seem to be everywhere (didnt realize that til i saw the pics lol).
Now the one of the reasons why i am introducing myself today is because of my "maybe" buy of these three corns from kingsnake. The seller seems to be ok, the snakes are just freakin beautiful, but my husband seems to think they wont do anything for me because as he puts it "there are NO dominant genes in the corn world, its too complicated and basically all corn breeders do is "roll the dice". And he also thinks i jumped the gun when it came to those snakes, as i didnt plan out anything with them yet.
I will be paying out 350 shipped over 5 payments of 70 bux. But to be honest, even if I didnt have a "concrete project/plan" for my corns or potential corns, that hurricane snow motley was just to darn incredible to pass up!
So, I have until the end of business hours thursday (today actually) to decide if i still want to go through with the beginning down payment that is non refundable.
Sorry this is such a oddball intro, but i really need to talk to people that truly understand the corn world.
Thank you
