I just wanted to tell everyone how very pleased i am with my new corn snake!
We got her from a lovely guy on here called Mike, thanks Mike she is wonderful! wouldnt be without her!
We have called her Amy, and like i say wouldnt be without her now...
She is our first snake and only a baby so once i got her home i started to worry a little, we had done all the research but still i wouldnt like to kill her!
Anyway we left are alone for the first week to settle in...as the week went on she came out more and more from her hide!
On the sixth day i decided to get her out and have a handle i was expecting her to strike but bless her she didnt, she was lovely and very relaxed! so i cleaned her house and fed her a pinky, she struck striaght away! i was so pleased!
I then left her for two days and handled her again, and we have been getting her out ever since.
I think she is a wonderful pet my 6 year old son loves her too, we are so pleased with her.
Thank you ever so much Mike!!! wish we had one sooner!! LOL x

Problem is it's like all addictions, you think you will be the one who won't get hooked. After all what harm can one little snake do!!!!  |
