I really do think they should change the name from corn snake to chocolate snake,as once you've had one you just want more!!

I'm really trying my best to combat the urge,but I'm struggling and I've noticed theres no support group
Is there a tried and tested method of beating this.....can anyone help??!!!

Convince yourself that you have NO MORE ROOM!!!!!! Don't start imagining the things you can move to make space for a new viv, or three new RUBs. Never go to the pet shop alone. Ideally bring a snake hater so you can't even look! Or.... Just buy loads and loads more!

im not keen on the name change but i do agree there should be a support group to help maintain the lethal corny bug which has taken over many of us

No good asking me, I'm an addict!
Only thing I can suggest is NEVER take any form of payment with you, no cash, no credit or debit cards and no friend who would lend you the 'means' to buy. No fun at all.
Support group........too late for some but maybe others could help!

It doesn't help that I'm going to partition my viv for Loki. Keep thinking about the spare half and the abandoned faun I'm going to have.
I'M DOOMED!!

I wasn't allowed any at all when I got my first couple. I'm STILL not allowed any, yet my list is fairly long.

Leos, Yellow throated plated lizard, BCi, Aberrant banana King, MBK, Cali King, Albino Cali king, Cornsnake, Legless Leo, Bearded Dragon, River/Cooter Turtle, Green Anoles, Brown Anoles, Long Tailed Skinks (Asian Grass Lizard), Alpine Newt, GALS, Giant Millipede

I get told everyday that I'm allowed no more, and with all honesty am running out of space. I have a small amount of space left that is earmarked for mwanza's, and another space that I have booked for a B.Cyanea.
Then I REALLY should stop.
The missus = no excuse. If she threatens with divorce, then you have more space.

HA HA HA! Support group thats too funny! I'm hooked too, ever since Aries joined the family I'm always wanting to handle her. When I go into my room I look in her enclosure every single time just to see where she is. It is indeed an addiction. I have a tank with fish in it, and they don't get the attention that Aries does. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night I shine my book light into Aries enclosure just to see what shes up too, since they are most active at night. LOL Corn Snakes Annoymous. You could found that group. "Hello, I have a corn snake addiction." Admitting you have a problem is the first step! HA HA HA HA HA
