Was at the shop at opening time, how sad is that but anyway. he's currently sitting on top of his coconut hide taking in his surroundings.

So this is Sanke (think cool runnings) a CB Dec 10.




My apologies for the hideous photo quality, he wasn't about to stay still and I wasn't about to put the flash on.

**mod edit - Sig removed, too big. Please see http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15428 for more info***

Cheers everyone, my neck has near broken today craning to watch him whizzing round his RUB. Going to be a long wait for Sunday, thats feeding day at the living room zoo and I'll attempt to feed him though he has that look of a striking scary around food type of snake.

Nice boa!

I fed mine a few days ago and wow! She had to scare the mouse to death first by hissing at it and then striking at it. All while I'm pooping myself holding the mouse in tongs. She finally decided it was scared to death and she struck and held on then ate it without hesitation!!

Can't wait to feed her again. It was awsome!

HAHA you've got a right moody madam, Sanke seems calm enough and hasn't hissed at me (yet). I can't wait to feed him I really can't.

Thats good that she is calm in hand. I bet its really funny, you should film it just incase she ever stops doing it and show it off to us.

I think hubby is very glad that I don't live any closer to Belfast! I can window shop quite enough without actually being able to get up there. There was a very cute beardie in the last time I was up.

I live in the City Centre about 5 minutes away from City Reptiles. I love it in there, they had rainbow Boas I had to put my blinkers on and stay focused on todays tasks, pick up the Boa and buy in the months supply of micicles.

I'm in Fermanagh so it's about the same from here to go to CR or to Dublin. Haven't been to Rep shop in Dublin yet, both my hatchlings came from CR. Apparently they're getting a bumper delivery of corns in ... Must ... resist ...
