#1 was my first ever corn hatchling, and despite a rough start is now doing pretty well. S/he was laid by teenage Mum Ginge on 8/5/09 and hatched on 4/7/09 weighing in an an increadably tiny 4g. Poor little #1 was just to tiny to eat a pinky and after several weeks i had to make the very hard decision to force feed along with #2 a little anery.
#1 eventually moved forwards to assist feeding however #2 still needed to be force fed. #1 became much more active however #2 got worse and eventually lost it's battle in October
A couple of weeks ago i moved #1 from it's hatchling tub in to it's first proper home, a medium sized flat faunarium.
I think #1 likes it in there, as it had a good scout round and even stopped for a little drink.
Despite being so tiny #1 has become a little sweetie to handle
#1 now weighs 5g and we're really hoping #1 will feed on it's own soon, for anyone who wants to see just how tiny #1 really is...
(thats a shot glass)
#1 may not be the most fancy corn on the forum but #1 ir really special to me and i think #1 really kicks corn snake Butt for being such a little fighter

It's beleiveable when people corns are hardier than we give them credit for, this is a fine example. Well done #1!
Shame about #2 Tiz. But thats just natural selection unfortunately, mother nature has a way of always kicking us.
Hope she continues to do well!! |

Tizzy, I think you have been amazing and the way you have strived and fought for both #1 and #2 means they were blessed to have been born to you. Hillzi is right in what he says about #2, unfortunately no matter how hard we try sometimes nature takes its course. #1 has been such a fighter and supported by you has proved nature wrong - there was no way you were going to let her go and she is looking gorgeous.
Well done Tizzy, it must be amazing to handle her and know that it is because of you and your love of her that she is alive.

You know you can do this Tizzy, although I am sure suffering another setback is hard. #1 is such a fighter and that is cos she takes after her owner. Try again and hopefully you will be successful next feed.
