The title says it all really! Been lurking around here for a few months now reading a lot, but only just gotten around to registering and posting!
Picked up my first corn about a month ago from the Kidderminster show. She's a lovely anery (type b) which I obtained from the nice folks of Snake City. I've named her Porphyria (but also gets referred to at the moment as Baby P, which is a little faux pas I know, but she is certainly not abused and is very well fed I can assure you!  ), basically after a favorite poem of mine (Porphyria's Lover' by Robert Browning) and because I thought it would be a cool name for a snake (yes, I named my snake in advance)! Actually, she's also been nicknamed Helen too (after my ex) since they both have 3 things in common; they look great, are very interested in me, but whenever they think they want to get close they ultimately turn and run (or slither) a mile !
I'm no stranger to exotics; started off about 5 years ago with a jungle phase leopard gecko (who has the fattest and most amazing tail I've ever seen on a leo!) before being adopted by a beardie 6 months after that. I was never really a snake kind of guy, but after keeping the lizards for a few years, my interest and fascination just developed! After months and months of research and looking at pictures on t'intertubes, I decided that if i was ever going to do it, then I'd find what I was looking for at the Kidderminster show (right location and timing for me really)! I can't tell you how tense it was waiting in the queue in the sweltering sun for 45 minutes watching other people coming out with their snakes! Was always keen on a miami, but then recently something about anerys just spoke to me! I guess when P grows up and moves into a viv, maybe her faun will become home to a baby miami sibling  .
Anyways, this is starting to become quite a lengthy introduction so I'll leave it by just saying hi and I'll try to get some pitures up when I find something that can get a better image than my phone! |

| Hi Monkey....you must be so excited to have finally got P. You have joined a great forum, with a lot of helpful advice from very experienced owners and where you feel that there is no such thing is a silly question. You also great great support - they kept me sane when my corn decided to fast 13 weeks from the point of me getting him. Friendship and fun are bonuses. Pics as soon as possible - an unwritten forum rule! xxx |

Thanks for the warm welcome guys (and for those that read the post and didn't reply, shame on you! Nah, just kidding! )!
Piccies will be done as soon as I can. Might be a few days yet since I think I'm expecting my first shed anytime this week; she's not shed in the 4 weeks I've had her and she's done nothing but hide (uncharacteristically) for the last few days! |

| if shes went dull n grey, cloudy eyes then u will prob get a shed in the next day or so if you get a shed in one i would measure it for your records its sometimes easier than trying to get you snake to stay still to measure |
