Be gentle, i'm a virgin!!

Hi all,

After a number of months of reading and researching we finally bought our first Corn Snake on the weekend. We have called him Kevin!

I am hoping to build a nice collection of snakes over the next couple of years but not particularly interested in breeding them (at this point anyways!!!)

Hope to be able to contribute to the forums regularly and looking forward to "speaking" to you all.

[Feebo]

[marvelfreak]

Your no longer a virgin. Congrds your the father of a bounceing baby candycane. LOL :) Beautiful snake.

[Freebody]

that is one sweet looking snake you got their :) after this post i got to go online and see more of these candycanes.

[Lankyrob]

Wow Wayne - great job on the photo's - will have to send you every pic i take to do your thing with!!

[infernalis]

I tried my best with that bottom photo, but it was too out of focus. Sorry.

[Lankyrob]

YEah i know - had trouble getting the camera to focus on the snake and not my hand - hopefully as he grows the sensors will pick him up better and will get some nicer photos.

Am going back to visit our reptile place tomorrow - not intending to buy anything else but........................

[Feebo]

Which one are you going to? And where did he come from? :)

[Lankyrob]

Reptile Zone in Filton. They got cool setup wiv loads of diff coldblooded things - An alligator, 7ft monitor lizard, geckos, beardies, snakes of various shapes sizes and venomosity (if thats a word??) and frogs, tortoises, turtles etc etc etc.

They recently bred and raised a 24ft python for Bristol Zoo.

[Will0W783]

Nice little corn- I love the colors!

[Lankyrob]

Well, we are back form the reptile shop visit and we now have TWO cornsnakes!! Kevin now has a friend called Perry - hope to get some photos up shortly.

[Feebo]

Ah right, I used to go to that shop, I have a couple from there. :) Are you using photobucket for your photos? You should be able to resize them on there.....

[Lankyrob]

Cool, which ones you get from there? Would you go back? Quite like the owner and one of the staff that work there, they all seem to have varying degrees of snakes, lizards and other animals which i think is good.

I just download straight from camera to pc wiv piccies. Prob why they are so large in size!

[ineedsoap16]

Welcome. Let's see some pics...!

[infernalis]

Here they are....
