Hey all,
Picked up a cornsnake in the week, got a few pics of her. Had her from someone that couldn't afford to keep her anymore and weren't keeping her very well.
She's missing the end of her tail - apparently lost in a bad shed - i'm not sure if that's possible. But there is a weirdness about her tail, it looks damaged sort of like it's been crushed. It doesn't seem to bother her a lot. She had no heat guard on her bulb either.
She's 18 months old but she seems pretty big for her age. The person said they were feeding her a fuzzy every 2 - 3 days. Sometimes 2 in one go.
We couldn't leave her where she was knowing about her - we may rehome her if she improves, that was orginial plan anyway ...although she is slowly winning our hearts, she is a quirky little thing and is so so so gentle. 
Also ... we were told she is an ultra corn. I'm not really up on my morphs so here's a few pics below I got before leaving her to settle after she'd fed, can you let me know if she is?
I'll try and get more of her tail soon to see what people think.
I'm not sure whether to lower her food - i'll try and weigh her soon.
Hope you like her - we're certainly falling for her :)
Her tail looks ok in this pics, but i'll try and get more when she settles.

The other half has only just got me watching star wars films! I am learning! lol.
Wookie just sounds more male to me too.
Her name at the minute is Sydney - the name she come to us with. I keep calling her "squids" or "squidney".
We had a chameleon, star wars inspired name of Jango. I called him "Jingle" .... drives the OH maaad  ... I can't help it. |

Wookie is a race remember. So it can be male or female
However Ayla is double a
Aayla Secura - Which by the way is also a fitting name with her Twi'lek snake tail hair do. |

As we've been told it's a girl ... Keeping with star wars references ..... Ayla? Maybe. |

Haha! Love the shot where the mouse paw is hanging out of her mouth, kinda waving goodbye to the world.
I'm sure you will find space...you have to really |

Tee hee thanks she is lovely.
I know, we want to keep her, trying to realistically think do we have the room, time and money for her. Can we afford a bigger viv etc when the time comes?
We'll make our minds up soon.
I am leaning towards keeping lol. |

She is lovely. You should keep her!
I can't see you having an issue feeding her smalls looking at the size of the fuzzies next to her. |

Great feeding photos! That last one is great! So so cute! |

More of her :)
Each fuzzy was gone in 20 seconds ... no lie ...
fuzzy two!
This is her tail ...
Now it doesn't look too bad here, but the tips gone ... and it doesn't move right. It sort of spazms and doesnt follow her the way it should .... if i'm making sense.
So cute =) |

Thanks all 
She is lovely. Had a feed today and she was skittish when we were getting her out but find once out of the viv. We'll leave her alone now until the weekend I think.
I know ... we're finding the decision tough about whether to rehome her. We weren't planning on having another snake for a long time and she'd she make a fantastic pet for someone that could care for her. She is so lovely though ... it's really hard to decide.
Got some more pics of her tail earlier, will post in a bit! |

Thanks guys
Aww cool. She is a pretty girl! Very shy though, hardly seen her out, even on evenings or mornings. She has been out though, there's tunnels a plenty and her aspens gone flat. She might be more of a nocturnal girl. Or as she's used to very loud kids and faces at the glass from her other home also, could be why.
I know! Yeah i asked and she'd taken two at a time before, so i'll keep her on fuzzys so it's not such a big change this week, then i'll try her on a small next weekend |
