Picked this little beauty off a breeder today, he/she is so frigging cool. Gonna let it settle in now just had to snap some pics. Time to think of a name now, im liking nicky so far. My first corn snake and only 5weeks old.

I like Nicky, I had a Grey Rat Snake once, she was pure evil. 8 weeks old when I got her and as soon as I opened the box she tried to eat me! I called her Beelezebub, and she didn't ever get any friendlier. Nearly every time out the viv and she coiled up and wagged her little tail..........I messed up again with her, but this is the last horror story I've got I promise, lol
I kept the top of her tank down with very heavy books, and it was an 18" tall Viv, nearly as tall as she was long..........she was stronger than I thought I guess, and must have pushed out because one day I checked in the morning and she had just gone, no sign of anything and the books were still in place Never saw her again. This was about 12 years ago, so I've got over it now, but I never got another snake..........
I'm sure Nicky will be much nicer , Grey rat snakes do have a bit of a reputation (I found out afterwards)
P.s. Nice tatoo......

Haha oh dear, probably living it up in the Yorkshire dales lool! My snake seems a little softie so far, I had to wake it up this morning cause it pooped on the news paper needed to put fresh down was fine just climbed around my hand and arm. Such a little cutie!

Oh and thanks about my tattoo, needs redoing though.

Not all snakes are evil. I am not a snake person, but I held a little one bought by Luis' wife in Daytona. I played with it a good while, I would have been okay bring her home. She is a lavender dumerils boa. A beautiful, friendly snake.

I agree, I've held loads of snakes and only been bit once and that was by an adult king snake that was known to be a grumpy little so in so. I think mine is gonna be lovely, I'm gonna call it raven now, I know its not black I just like the name.

Now, a Boa is just the thing that might persuade me to get a snake again at some point - I just love the head shape, and the patterns too

I would tell you that Raven is a daft name for a pink snake, but I've kept a Green Anole and called it Camel before.......

Why's that then? You changing your name too?

Na sadly im stuck with Ashleigh, could of been worse my dad wanted to call me Elsa after the lion in born free and my mother wanted to call me Kelly-jo i got named after the midwife instead because i was the last British baby she delivered she was American and was going back to the U.S.A

Well, there's nowt wrong with Ashleigh as a name...........but Elsa is a bit old fashioned and kelly-jo might be just a bit too modern, lol

You have a horse!? Nice...... Why haven't you got the horse listed in the sig? No pictures of it either...........do you really have a horse?
Sorry to hear about Terry, but had a good innings though, right?

Well, ok............but spiders aren't reptiles, and it sort of looks like you've got hidden pets that you weren't telling anyone about - what kind of horse is she then?
