Snakes in designer genes
New snakes ...
mynamesrick got himself a new buttmunching normal.
bekers71 finally got a butter stripe - and what a stripey stripey stripe it is.
ILoveGreen's new reverse okeetee is progressive. Interesting political position for a corn snake to take, really.
djsuby05's new snake is a cutey and a big lad.
New members ....
A bumper crop of new members this week. Make sure to introduce yourselves to them ...
tips, phelo, ohdigeydoc, sparkman, beauty, png_lovebirds, Jezebel, snoopy, 98kingm, Aremus, Blacklight, Lanky G, mushroom, timdog, and last but not least, MaddyZangles.
It's still mating season ...
Amel motley het butter stripe x butter motley sounds like a great pairing for DaGiant and Stephen.
and zeewhizgot his pastel ghost together with a Miami girl.
And it's still laying season ...
PJCReptiles will no doubt have a headache thinking about the genetics of these ghost het blizzard x ghost het blizzard eggs (save me a gho-bli-snow baby!)
Drizzt80 described his mating as a second hand snake to an old man. I wonder which snake got the best end of that deal? Better luck with that one than the clutch of slugs he got from his hypo lav pairing.
Fingers crossed that betterboa's girl is okay after her ordeal. But at least there's some fertile eggs there ...
RobStevens has three clutches of eggs this week.
I see a myriad of motleys in bekers71's future - from two clutches.
stephen's first clutch of the year and second clutch of the year are here. Don't miss these if you like ultramel projects...
I know you're all saying - but toyah, where are your egg threads? Well, all my girls are holding out on me, I feel so left out! So make sure to keep posting your eggs and pips so I can at least coo over them ...
Thread picks of the week
Your first corn snake - share some photos and stories of that first snake who paved the way for all the rest.
Useful incubation information (for extra credit say that five times, fast!)
This list of hybrid names is quite useful and interesting.
ReptileFest Chicago - WOW! What a great event. Kudos to Cegninedorf for organising the corn snake handling. Lots of great pictures too..
RIP little Monty. We're sorry for your loss Gralena. He was a beauty.
The other side of breeding ... Roy Munson shared some pictures of Bretty after her egg binding.
Photos
NFS07 took her boy Kryptonite outside. I loved this photo showing the pure strength of a corn snake - that tightly wound tail holding up everything else, and that inquisitive face.
Uhmm ... can you let go please? They're not your tweezers, they belong to Jrgh17.
Taryn7's butter is either a spying stealth snake, or she's playing whack-a-mole. Cute either way though.
SunProject's hypo bloodred boy has the coolest viv.
VinnyJ, I must demand you hand over that Terrazzo to me now ... or at least post photos on a regular basis. Keys corns FTW.
Topazfyre has co-ordinating your snake to your flowers down to a fine art. Love the blossoms, love the snake!
I just LOVED this photo of Skaaglore's. Morgain is really trying to look like a charmed cobra there, don't you think?
Zombie topic - back from the dead
Cool story, Jadie.Glitch, but I think Vedica's neonates should have hatched by now considering she posted about them back in July '02.
Cruelty of the week
Velvet, without a doubt, inflicted a horrible cruelty on the forum. Fancy telling us there's pippies and then not even letting us see!
Nanci defeats Dean
Nanci is now our all time most prolific poster on cornsnakes.com. Third place Tula_Montage still has a couple of thousand posts to make before she catches up to them!
Quotes of the week
"Once a butt muncher, always a butt muncher" is a fabulous quote in itself, but dwyn127's made me giggle with:
"Since he's lost his virginity this year he's become incorrigible."
Is there a doctor in the house? No? Never fear - MerlinsPop is here to dispense valuable medical advice. This week: how to treat a corn snake bite:
"No need to go to the hospital... just self-administer sufficient alcohol (internally, so that the wound is disinfected from the inside out, doncha know!). When you can't recall why you're medicating yourself, you've had enough."
I'm off to get bitten by a corn snake so I can follow Bruce's treatment advice ... I hope you enjoyed this WIR
