Hey all,
Sooooo. After moving my anery Theo into a viv this weekend I now have an empty Faun, sat in the bedroom, mocking me because it is currently snake-less.
I currently have a snow, an anery and a carolina and would look to bring a fourth little one into the family....the question is.....what morph?!
I am pretty indecisive at the best of times....and this..tied with the fact that I love nearly every morph out there, makes for a difficult decision indeed.
With this in mind, I would like to open the floor to suggestions (to take the decision out of my hands!).
Opinions and suggestions please! |

i used to be indecisive but now i am not so sure. On a serioun note it is a very difficult choice to make, i think i would go for a ghost or if i had the money a honey.
Kindest regards

Really swaying towards butter now! Especially motley, although my anery is a motley aswell...hmmmmm.
Mamma - definitely sticking to corns for a few reasons, namely colour variation, space (big factor) and if I went with anything bigger ie. Boa, my parents would never visit! Ha! |

| I don't have a lot of space either Ashma and am researching other snake species which will grow to the same size as corns, I agree with you on the colour variation of corns, there are lots and they are beautiful. |

Definitely agree Ailsa, the variation is amazing!
I assume you mean kingsnakes etc? I suppose the only reason I wouldn't shift from owning corns to anything else is purely down to a lack of knowledge. I should broaden my horizons though and probably follow your example of doing a little bit of research into it :) |

| Yeah King snakes etc and my knowledge is not vast as I only got my first corn snake last month however, I'd like other types of snakes with as near to care requirements to corns as possible, which is why I am doing a lot of research reading but it is not set in stone that wont get another corn, even though I have other choices of snakes I may not get them due to budget etc and then I would look at getting another corn snake :) |

I've had my corns for around 6 months now, but I still feel like I know very little. Its always a challenge keeping animals of any type, but I enjoy it and I like the bond I have with my snakes (although its definitely not reciprocated haha).
I've just fallen in love with corns!
I'm a huge reptile fan though and would never rule out another type of snake altogether. I think for me, its just a case of being comfortable :) |

| Well you do what you feel most comfy with but possibly don't completely rule out other snake species. How many corns do you have? |

I'll definitely let you know what I decide on for the next addition :)
I have two and a half
First is Theo, over a year old, anery motley
Second is Cleo, 7 month old carolina (absolutely insane aswell)
The half...well my other half has a year old snow called Pixie, but when we finish the move to our new house, it will be a joint effort to look after all 3 |

Awww, so tiny still :)
Cleo is insane, I'm sure of it. Struck and constricted on the FIRST feed. Always out and about climbing and a little terror to handle. Very fun to sit and watch though. I have her on beech chippings but want to get her onto aspen as I'm sure she'd tunnel a maze through it! |

| Dakota is starting to go a bit mental with her food now, she's like must kill pinkie at all costs and then chomps it down, she's great to handle tho is a bit flighty once i take her out but she does settle down. I've got aspen for her so she can burrow and tunnel but for now she'll be on kitchen roll. She's still shy though and waits till coast is clear before coming out for a mooch and she does love her loo roll tubes which I fixed to top of her faun with cable ties. |

I love it when they strike and constrict. Theo is around the 2ft mark now and is quite powerful. He's the complete opposite in terms of temper though. Very chilled out and relaxed. He has this motion when I put my hand in the viv of
'what?! oh right...its you...again....*sigh* go on then, pick me up'
Bless. Here's me giving my snake a personlity....I'm sad like that! |
