hi people
new to the forum ive been looking for a while really enjoy looking on here so i thought i would join and show my stuart:) hes my first snake and i love him to bits hes so tame, hes 1 year 4 months weighs 90 grams and approx 2.5-3 feet in length, hes a few pictures taken on my phone unfortunatly, also i would like to ask is this a regular thing for a corn snake to eat out of the owners hand? my local pet shop owner was amazed and said its unheard of. i was proud to say the least 
this was before shedding so he looks a little bit dark

Welcome to the forums!
I won't try to answer your questions, as i don't own a snake.
All i can say is you have a beautiful snake! |
Regards,
Dan
Still don't own a snake, roll on new year!!! |

Hello and welcome!
Congrats on the new snakey
Genetically, he looks normal. With those thick black borders he might be classed as an okeetee though |

Its not unheard of corns eating from hands, corns infact most snakes will take food wherever they can get it being opportunistic feeders, even if its on the owners hands. Personally is not something i would recommend as the snake ma then associate handling with feeding and be in food mode when being handled.
There are photos in here somewhere of snakes eating from hands. |

Hiya and welcome, my male ate out of my hand too last time I fed him. Had the mouse already down and he grabbed it while I was putting him into his tub lol!
Must say, your snake is lovely! |

He has great colouring!
It is heard of to hand feed snakes, but mine are so greedy I'd never feed whilst handling as I know for a fact that both would then try and demolish my hands during other handling sessions. Plus, I'd be scared to move them awkwardly whilst they are trying to swallow and digest their food. |
