Horrible Pics

Here are some pics of one of my oldest and dearest friends!

His Name is Sammy and I have had him since I was around 7 or 8 and I am 27 now. They are horrible pics, but I had the camera for the weekend and figured I would use it while I had it. He is going through a shed right now so he looks like crap......but his is just a normal corn.

Thanks for looking.

Great job!! Not many herpers can say they have kept an animal for 20 yrs. By the way, the term I have the most trouble using when describing some of my snakes is: NORMAL. It sure seems to take something away from these magnificent creatures. Don't you think? I bet "Sammy" is anything but NORMAL to you! Nice snake.

O yea he is nothing but normal.....One of the best pets I have ever kept, I dont do much breeding with the "normal corn" because there are just to many out there already that are breeding but I love him and would not trade him for anything!!

I will post some more pics of him once he gets done with this shed!

He's just lovely! It's nice to hear of a senior citizen snake who is as loved today as when he was first aquired.

I recently lost my first "pet trade" herp, an ornate horned frog that passed at the respectable age of 26. Senior citizen herps rule!

Welp he got through his shed last night, I will try to take some new pics tomorrow of him.

He was so happy to have the skin off last night that when I got up this morning he had gotting out and was crawling around on the floor, how he managed to get the cage open is beyond me but he did! When I put him back in the cage I think he seemed happy to be home!

And Senior Herps do rock........seems the older they get the more personality they get!

Ahh I think it's cool when people take pics of old snakes while they are in shed because they are all greyish. It adds an aging effect hehe. I really like that snake, and congratulations for keeping it around for 20 years, you must really be doing a good job with it!
