Hi,
I will be posting Videos here, more or less regularly, of my Anery Stargazer Corn. Some people may be interested in how he behaves and learns to cope with his disability.
1st Video= Behaviour normally
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jSuRa2p2SU
2nd Video= After Feeding
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gn1-eNnQdQ
I will post a Video I made of the corn feeding once its uploaded. |

To feel sorry for anything less fortunate than its more fortunate counterpart is a perfectly normal human response. There is no right or wrong way to react to such things other than to not take the michael, discriminate or act cruely, so everyone on here is fine and dandy. :) |

As you can see he can eat perfectly well, get's out and about and seems to enjoy his little home enough to me.
He tips his head back and jerks it side to side occasionally.
Nothing major.
I realize I may sound a bit cold hearted, but he is enjoying life just as much as any other corn snake, and he is definitely a real beauty, so I wouldn't feel too sorry for him :P
I said it was sad to watch, so what? If that's how I feel then so be it. I'm not going to comment on the fact you don't think it's sad so maybe you shouldn't comment on what I put?
It's like your trying to make me look like a fool for pitying a snake with a disability....jeez! |

I have MS and hate it when people feel sorry for me after all its just part of who I am, so I can understand what you mean Dan, it just makes the snake all that more special and as long as he is not in pain i'm sure he will have a good life. |

That was fascinated,if a little sad to watch. Very helpful to anyone that may not have heard of it.
He's still a beautiful snake though. |

@ IRV2307
His disability is a defect gene called Stargazer. It is a gene that can be passed on to offspring just like any other gene, and causes a neurological problem with coordination and balance. Louise32 posted a link there you can read more if you want :) |

As promised, Stargazer feeding. The only difference to normal Corns feeding is the Jerky head.
