My brand new striped corn

[BP_okay]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to share with you a pic of my new guy. He's about 20 inches long and is a striped corn. The breeder said there is a 66% chance he has the bloodred gene, so we'll see how he develops as he gets older. I am in love !!!


I just wanted to share this with you b/c I am so elated,

[BP_okay]

Thanks! Maybe you should add one to your family :) I have always liked stripes on snakes - especially rosy boas

[carciady]

[BP_okay]

Thanks! I am still so overjoyed :) My gosh, snakes are addictive aren't they?

[Chu'Wuti]

My gosh, snakes are addictive aren't they?

VBG! You're hooked!

[BP_okay]

[Chu'Wuti]

VBG = Very Big Grin
LOL = Lots of Laughter

[Kmef07]

LOL= Laugh out loud. geeze guys get with the program lol.....

[BP_okay]

Yeah, Yeah,....i guess you can tell i'm nott he most avid texter :) I'm so behind for a 27 year-old!

[Kmef07]

Ya if you were like 35 or older i could see you being a little behind but not at 27 lol.

[Chu'Wuti]

What about 56?

[Kmef07]

ya at 56 you are ok to say "lots of laughter" instead of "laugh out loud"

[BP_okay]

Well...I am sure after a few more months on the forum, I'll be a bit more up on the lingo. What was lol again....j/k

[Chu'Wuti]

Why, thank you, kind sir! ;)

[carciady]

Many thanks I had a great birthday, I would love another snake I just dont have the room for one at the momment lol.

[JMixx]

LOLOL="Lots Of Laughing Out Loud"?

I'm 42, so I can get away with that, right?

[Kmef07]

no you can't lol. if you have kids ask them that and see what they say. lol

[BP_okay]

Jmixx, If I were you, I would just google forum lingo to avoid further ribbing from Kmef in the future :)

[bugger]

People tell me I'm like a big fat horses behind... :)

My best looking snake is the meanest, and always strikes me, bites me, so I get angry with him, but he's the one that may, or may not, make it in the wild best I suppose.
My mellowest snake kills prey faster and far more efficient than the nastiest or the nicest, most social one. He flies off my hand in a know practically, and just slips his body around his prey and squeezes, almost in the air :) or so it seems.
I don't think of looks as much as disposition anymore. When the coolest looking is the one you have to watch then that gets old quick. I'll take a nicer snake for a pet, that isn't as good of looking. Seems like I use that philosphy in other things also... :)
Hope it turns out to be a good snake for you!

[Will0W783]

Gorgeous corn snake. I am usually not a huge fan, but that is a pretty little snake. Best of luck with him!

[JMixx]

Jmixx, If I were you, I would just google forum lingo to avoid further ribbing from Kmef in the future :)

Oh, I'm sorry--did I give the impression that I was trying to AVOID ribbing??:rolleyes:

[Chu'Wuti]

did I give the impression that I was trying to AVOID ribbing?? I didn't get that impression! ;)

I kinda like your definition for LOLOL myself! I don't think we should let the younger folks control all the Internet lingo anyway. They're TY to have enough experience, right? ;)

[JMixx]

Well, after all--who gets to make up the rules about these acronyms, anyway? Each one had to start somewhere!

[BP_okay]

Hope it turns out to be a good snake for you!

He has definitely gotten much better. He glides back and forth through my fingers, like a cute little piece of yarn. He is initially a little skittish when I pick him up, but after that he calms down in a matter of seconds. It just took some time, and from what I understand, juvenile corns are just shy little snakes at first.

It's amazing how they all have their own little personalities, or in your case, very big personalities.

Ya if you were like 35 or older i could see you being a little behind but not at 27 lol.

Hey!!! I'm offended.....lol

[Kmef07]

Hey!!! I'm offended.....lol

Haha sorry didn't mean to offend anyone lol.


She has the "LOL" part down so that is the first step.
