Sunny was our third snake, came along as a resue/rehoming. The guy said that Sunny was a female, had been handled almost daily and was three years old.

Turned out she was a HE, form the reaction of him mujsking everywhere whenever he was picked up i dont believe he was ever handled. However, after a few months of covering the flor with newspaper and wearing a fullsuit waterproof set i got him used to me and now he is fine being handled by anyone. He has never bitten and because of going through this process with him he has a spot in my heart.

We have recently researched his "morph" and i think we decided that he is an Orange Sided Candycorn.

He is amazing. He makes me want to get that morph.

Those two pics are the closest i pictures i have to his true colouring. As with all snake pics the camers seems to wash out the colours, those two were taken with my "proper" camera where the others were taken from my phone.

Yeahh... That's why I always intensify the colors in my photos. Cameras just don't do justice when it comes to colors.

I was at this expo today and he reminds me a lot of this Corn/King cross I fancied. Only difference was it had more stripes than splotches. Pure white, golden(or vibrant orange) stripes/streaks.~

Looking good Rob, how long is he now?

Lankyrob · 03-21-11, 04:18 AM

He shed last week and the shed was about 4foot 8 inches.

marvelfreak · 03-21-11, 04:45 PM

He's looking good and getting big.

presspirate · 03-21-11, 05:30 PM

Very Nice Rob, he is well cared for it seems.

Lankyrob · 04-20-11, 08:06 AM

He shed this week so tried to get some pics of the difference between his saddles and the lower body - pics dont really do it justice as it is very striking in reality.

i find we always seem to have a stronger bond with the snakes we have problems with at the start

my craziest carpet the one and only psycotic " crazy bert " our machine gun biting jungle and i have a strong bond

i spent the first 18 month trying to calm him down before realising he's just NOT going to tame down

now we both know where we stand we're the best of mates

lovely healthy looking corn you got there mate

cheers shaun
