Week In Review!!!

[Tula_Montage]

Hey folks, I hope you enjoy the first ever cornsnakes.com week in review. I know I enjoyed making it. Its amazing how much good information is forgotten about on this site, so hopefully this will bring it back (minus the pages of unnecessary babble in some threads). Of course its mainly to give the members who cannot visit the site every day a chance to catch up on the best bits! And to aknowledge those members who have contributed some excellent information, pictures, advice and general help.

The idea is to highlight the best threads, posts, pictures and content over the last week. Starting from last Monday the 19th March, to this Tuesday the 27thth March. WIR will be every Monday from now on. You guys all need something to read on a Monday morning at work Just pretend that today is yesterday and the dates are fine


This weeks corn porn! Exciting/cutting edge cultivars on the horizon and some classic pairings.

First up, a great thread started by Stephanie that’s slowly being updated over the past few weeks. Keep on top of everyones Progress thus far!

Susan had queries about whether to breed small females or not, a good thread with a few different opinions on small females. Would be nice to have a few more opinions

Gallagher’s first pairing this season! I really like this unusual anery female

Rockymonkey has some nice pairings going on!
Pictured is Opal pos het stipe x Butter Motley

A VERY nice pair from Roy Munson (Dean). Breeding F2’s together should get lovely varied clutches! Sunglow Mot (het Lav) x Anery-Lav

Also Ghost x anery… this is one helluva boy!

Stunning bloodred x hypo diffused pair from Brent (Drizzt80)

Hypo lavender het stripe x Caramel motley by Stephen

Rich Humes Mystery Project Corns by Stephen (very exciting)

Aztec normal x snow by Tim of T&J corns

I must ask everyone not to comment until I have finnished posting all parts of the WIR!

Pictured are hypo lavs, blizzard and sunglow motley

2nd place Carol’s Hypo lavender diffused (hypo plasma)

3rd place Arjan’s new Aztec Miami female! other new additions

Het cinder/Z/anery C ventral by Danny (Dwyn127)

Pandora the bloodred by Lore

Hunt club okeetee by Ca

Thread picks

UVA and UVB lighting – Are they necessary?

Mice vs Rats – which to feed?

Search feature sticky - not read nearly often enough!

Handling snakes - queries on any health risks.

Hatchling housing - start preparing for this season.

Wrongly sexed snakes – double check your breeders!

Blizzard x butter – what to expect

The perfect motley – An old thread but worth digging up!

Ok folks just a quick one. I promise to do better next monday!
Have a great week, and be sure to post some excellent stuff for the next WIR!!

At first I thought Steve C's Ghost was trying to eat one of Mike's giant mice! Great idea, Elle.

Great job Elle, this is going to be a favorite feature for me :cheers:

Thanks! Well hopefully its a full week in cs.com compacted into one thread! So simple and organised, So very much unlike myself LOL

I hope to make it a little more in depth next Monday!

 

[tom e]

Yep, very cool! Makes me want to post something "newsworthy"! :grin01:

 

[Roy Munson]

Very nice job, even if I'm embarrassed for figuring so prominently. Carol's hypo-lav-blood should have been number 1. If she had posted her cinders too, she would have swept! :cheers:

Great job, Elle! :wavey:

 

[El Jefe]

Nice job....I like it.

Great job, Elle! :wavey:

Indeed Carol needs to post those cinders of hers! And some smokin miamis.

Your pictures were just amazing though Dean. One of the best threads in a while IMO. Really looking forward to your non corns.

Good! If anyone else wants to send me things they think should be in the WIR please note them to me!

I would also like nominations for "member of the week" and a reason why, and an example of their apparent lovelyness on the forums!

 

[laceyjane260]

Great job! I check in everyday and there were still a few things on here I missed. Keep up the good work!

 

[roswald]

Wow

Great job Elle!! :bang: (close as I could get to knocked my sox off)
I am a "normal" kind of guy at least as far as corn's go but Carols hypo plasma is gorgeous, probably wouldn't have seen her if not for the WIR. As I was looking thru the pic's of the week my daughter Molli (6) came in and asked about the nakey snake, the hypo plasma. Cute Huh.
Anyway keep up the good work.

 

[TandJ]

Thank you for the honourable mentioning Elle... Good luck and hopefully this is the type of thread that brings more intrest ...


roswald mentioned the following..

Hey Elle,

Are you going to date or number the weeks in review so we will be able to tell which is the newest?
