Sex of Corn Snake Owners: Do Girls out number Boys.

[sprdonkey]

I've always wondered...

I have always wondered how many of us women folk have a similiar story. I adore Corns and Pythons (especially carpets), dig a few boas, have a firm love of the awe inspiring monitor species (Niles, Argus, Mangroves, Timors, Crocodile-which I had to handle with chain mail-Green trees, Blue Aligator, and of course dear Savannahs are my favs). Quintescentially I love reptiles and a lot of people are put off by us members of the 'gentler' sex that ascribe to such scaley obsessions. How many of us found love and then went herp crazy when the little boys in all of our men were encouraged to jump on board?

This boy is my newest addition, my hunny got him for my birthday. He is a queensland/coastal integrade carpet from ectotherms.net I don't have him home yet, I get to pick him up in a bit, I'm so excited that I can barely stand it.

So far that 'somebody' hasn't been me! :grin01:

I'll go next! I'm a 19-year-old female from North Carolina. I got a Corn Snake not very long ago, and have since become kind of reptile-obsessed(but i've always loved animals in general, anyway). Also recently got a tarantula, and sometime soon i'm getting a Leopard Gecko.. Eventually i'd like to have more snakes and lizards. I hang out at the local pet shops so much(just to look around) that i'm starting to get to know the employees. I'm starting at the local community college in fall. Not sure what i want to do as a career, but have been considering the idea of being a teacher.I have multiple piercings and wear a lot of black(and often prefer mens' clothes). Into a lot of music, prefer stuff like deathrock, 80s goth, post-punk, punk, and industrial, but i listen to other stuff here and there too. I don't really follow any specific religion, but my beliefs easily fall under the "pagan" umbrella.. so i generally don't consider myself anything more specific than an "eclectic Pagan". I don't like to see spirituality as a set of dogmatic beliefs, and i usually find overly-religious people, of any religion, somewhat annoying. When i watch tv, it's usually Comedy Central or Animal Planet. With movies, i usually prefer Comedy and Horror. And when it comes to reading, i really like H.P. Lovecraft and Neil Gaiman. Politically, i'm not totally sure what i am.. But i know that i don't agree with republicans OR democrats, and don't really trust any politicians. What was that quote from Hitchhiker's Guide... "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do the job." So true.

Ladies will eat your souls

 

[NyanNyan]

i'm a female! XD

 

[Eriathiel]

I am a girl and I own many snakes! GIRLS RULE!

 

[zeeboismysnake]

Another one for the girls!

 

[Thoth]

Hrmpf. As usual, my answer isn't one of the options. :sobstory:

So here's my answer: I'm a boy and a soon-to-be corn snake owner. But women still rule. So nyah!

-jimmie

 

[Ginafish]

I enjoy Thoth's response, hehe. Girls totally do rule. 'Cept for the mean ones. Those ones rule with an iron fist.

I'm a girl and I own corns! Huzzah for corn snakes!

 

[JenC]

FEMALE here I used to own cornies but now im moved onto bigger things.. mwahahhaa That most males wouldnt even touch

Im getting back into Cornies tho, im very excited

 

[Seakat]

I am a girl with 2 males snakes and 1 female. I have to say...I love my boys, their personality seems to be a lot more mellow that my female. She is a little high strung--kind of a spook. She is a Blizzard -what can I say. It's not the first time I have heard Blizzard parents say that they are little spooky at times.

I also think it would be interesting to see how many science geeks are out there as well. Someone mention earlier about backgrounds and not just male or female. I was a Molecular Biology Major and I have always had a zoo- the herps are a recent addition.

My husband is a science geek as well, he majored in Genetics and what a couple we make. We have conversations in the car about possible outcomes if we breed our snakes etc....can't help it. SCIENCE RULES!!!!

 

[SnBMeg]

Well, let's see.

Female
23 yo
5'6 and ~95 lbs. - my metabolism is absolutely through the roof, and it's genetic (mostly tall/slim people in my family, though I'm one of the extremes for the latter) so it's next to impossible for me to gain weight
Caucasian (mostly, lots of European ancestry, with a bit of Native American): dark blonde hair and green eyes
Fav. foods: steak, bbq, and rich, fudgey chocolate

I look rather like a girly-girl now, but I never have been. As a kid I loved bugs and scalies and slimies, and I still do. The two most common things I hear from people I've just met are along the lines of "I thought you were 16, or something" and "you need to eat more."

When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, and I took an extra year of biology in high school (LOVED dissections, and there was an odd number of people in the class, so I ended up working on my own, which was awesome). Then with only half a semester of hs left, I decided to switch to art (always liked to draw). Majored in animation in college, with a couple of illustration courses on the side. And I'm now working at a major Space Systems Company, creating multimedia for online training courses and the like. I occasionally enter work in art shows; last year I won "Best of Show" at Nan Desu Kan (Denver's big anime/Japanese culture convention). My prefered animation style is silhouette (traditionally, sort of a combination between stop-motion and shadow puppets), and I do a lot of paper cut-out artwork. I also enjoy creating Celtic knotwork designs.

I destest hot weather, and am considering moving, at some point in the future, to somewhere that the summers are cooler.

Only one corn snake right now, which I've had for less than a week, but I'm already making plans for more.

My other pets currently include 2 cats and over 50 freshwater/brackish fish. My favorites of my fish are my 4 fancy goldfish. When I was younger I had a cat and a dog, as well as several lizards when I was in elementary/junior high school.

YES! Another Cbus science nerd girl.
I'm currently a middle school biology editor for a textbook company here in Columbus. Majored in zoology, thinking of going back for an advanced degree in either herpetology or parasitology.

Hi Rik,
If performed by someone who is properly trained, probing will not hurt the snake. It is very easy to harm them if you're unsure of probing, but an experienced herp keeper or vet shouldn't have a problem. Granted I wouldn't do it more than necessary (once is enough ) but your snake's breeder or herp vet should be able to do this no problem.
