[SerpentLust]

I am shocked that a confirmed boaphile would end up with a corn! Congrats - it is a very pretty one - nice high contrast. And wasn't there a pueblan added to your collection a short time ago and now a corn - who knows what will be next!

congrats

[Invictus]

I already made fun of you in another thread, so I won't repeat my ridicule here. :P

[Kurzix]

Ok Invictus, I'll make up for it here.... after all my name is on the Thread lmao.

Linds....it is now my personal mission to attend every show, just so you buy more colubrids....btw love the way you say that word too lol.

[Wilma]

lol... ohh, my cornsnake! :P hehehe, and doesn't she just look tons more gorgeous now?

How have you set her up?

[Simon]

Linds,

I can't believe that it took you so long to get into corns. Shame on you! You should of gotten a corn a long time ago~
it's a very nice looking amel~
Too bad that I didn't get a chance to meet you personally at the show yesterday. but there is always another day~

great addition!

[Clownfishie]

Congrats Linds, she looks great :)

[Linds]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! :D She's a riot. That is one thing I must admit to liking about colubrids... no matter how spastic any boids get, you never see em pretend they are rattlers, dogs maybe, but never rattlers :p

Jay you're the devil...lol :p Making me buy all these crazy colubrids :eek: LOL... what way? I say it three ways... usually the way everyone else pronounces it (cuh-loob-rid), but some kid that used to come in to my old work almost daily always pronounced it call-you-brid so occassionally I bust that one out :p Sometimes when I'm drunk I occassionally say it... call-uh-brid :p :o

LOL make no mistake... I'm not IN TO corns, I just happen to have one now :p It might become two just because I don't like to keep too many things that I'm not breeding but that's where it ends :p
LOL... if it is after 11am I'm usually down in the bar. Stop by there next time and you are sure to find me! :p

[Kurzix]

Linds,

You forgot to mention you didn;t buy that pueblan, until I came over and asked what you had purchased. lol

Several months later I come up again, for a show, I say hi to you, leave the bar for a bit, next thing i know you have another cuh-loob-rid.

I'm not the devil either lol I in no way made you get either lol.

[marisa]

Well you may have only one corn, and may only be contemplating a mate for it, but what will you do when you have cute *** little amel faces looking up at you?!?! hahaha

nice corn. congrats.

marisa

[tai_pan1]

Seriously? LOL you're the second Canadian I've heard pronounce them that way. Every time I do people usually give me a weird look and ask me to say it again :p

[Kurzix]

Must be an ontario thing Linds, cuz in Chicago thats how all the venders pronounced it....call you brid

[Nicky]

congrads on your corn it looks awsome:D

[ReneeB]

call-you-brid here too :P

[Oliverian]

Congrats on the cutie! Mabye it'll prove too addictive. I know I'm planning to get more already. :)
So... the right way is Col-uh-brid? I'm confused. I usually just say col-ah-brid, but I don't actually know the right way to say it.
I say Ohkeetee corn, but a lot of people say Okitee. Which is right there? Lol!

LOL doubt it will overtake my boas... I'll probably just pair her up and that's about it. LOL... I say it all of the ways possible, but do not know which is actually correct. I wodner if there is a pronunciation key out there somewhere? That would especially be helpful with some of the latin names :)

[Colonel SB]

"LOL make no mistake... I'm not IN TO corns, I just happen to have one now"

Thats what I said last year Linds and now I have way too many but that is in most part thanks to Simon :P

[Wilma]

lol, I say call u brids... :P but then again I am an internet learner... so I see the word and figure out the pronounciation myself :P Hooked on Phonics works for me!

Ohh, if you breed them can I have a baby linds? lol, what will that be, almost two years from now for it to grow up and lay, and have the eggs hatch? :P nevermind, I will look at the next show

:D

Mind if i ask why you like boids over colubrids? This is a question for the obvious snake newbie... arn't they all snakes? :P besides size, eating habits, and habitat differences I mean ;)

*ducks and covers for any offended snake people attacks!*

Darryl,
don't blame it on me...I didn't do anything. All I did was to show you what I had. That was all....hahahah (I do that to a lot of people and they end up getting stuff....hahah am I ever evil...hahah)
Will power my friend...will power is the key to success~

Wilma,

I am not Linds but just to answer "Mind if i ask why you like boids over colubrids? This is a question for the obvious snake newbie... arn't they all snakes? :P besides size, eating habits, and habitat differences I mean "

I am the other way round kind of person. I like colubrids more than boids. Yes they are all snakes. But size, eating habits habitats are all different. For a corn snake, they don't usually get too big. The biggest that I have seen is a 7 foot corn and that is a giant already. On average 5 feet. Can eat mice throughout whoel life and only need a small enclosure. Where as most boids (excluding spotted, childrens, anthill, balls, rosy, sand) like BCI, Burms etc are bigger. Most of them eat rats or larger prey. Plus they need a bigger enclosure.

I do like large snakes, but I don't have the room and the care that I can provide them with. Even if I only had one of each, I would still like the colubrids more because I like handling them in a easily manageable manner. Holding a 10 feet + snake is not easy manageable for me....haha I am a weak guy...haha I always feel like that they're leading me (for boids) instead of me leading them (like corns)

So to each likings I guess~

[TheRedDragon]

Congratulations Linds, I got suckered the same way, I'm such a boaphile, but those damn corn snakes have grown on me! *L* :D
