Am VERY excited!!!

Just got home with our new corn that we have adopted.

Handled her very quickly whilst transferring her from her travel box to her viv. She seems very calm and easily handled - now resting quietly in her viv for a week or so before i get her out and try to get some piccies to post!!

Re: Am VERY excited!!!

lol thanks guys!! Once we are happy this one is settled eyes will be peeled for the next one to come along.

It seems like fate really - we decided to adopt another cat after losing one of ours and the same day someone posted an advert online looking for a home for their cat. Then we said about doing the same for snakes and within 48 hours there was a post on another reptile forum asking for a home for this adult corn.

Wife is hoping for a spiny tailed monitor next so keep your fingers crossed!!!

Just looked across at the viv and she is just starting to come out form the hide that she has spent all the time since we got home.

say out loud to your mrs we want to adopt loads of diamond pythons,get her to agree then that should make it the same as last twice you spoke.these things come in 3's so when you get over run with diamond pythons your scottish mate can take some off your hands.then you can be rescue slash re homing people,just a thought from your pal in scotland.

Just don't let your wonderful intentions become your demise Rob.

I'm not trying to discourage anything at all, just make sure you factor in what your feeding and vet costs are going to be... the more mouths one has to feed, the bigger the food bills get.

I allowed my obsession to get so far out of hand that I feed hundreds of mice a month to my snakes.
