this is my miami phase corn snake , he is in blue well first stages. cant wait till he sheds so i can get the full blast of his colors. we adopted him from a nice couple who rescued him from a plant shop that he accidently got shipped to from the wild . but he is sweet and has actually befriended me before i got a chance to befriend him. so since he is new to me and my hubby and our critter friendly home , i would appreciate all and any info. thank you.

they arent the best pics but best i could do with phone cam and without really disturbing him/her to long.

It's a beauty! I have one very similar, lucky that they run free on my property. So far I have captured 2 of them, amazing creatures!

Don't worry too much if he doesn't eat for you. A lot of male corns go through a fast during the mating season. I guess all they can think about is finding a female, so they don't have time to stop and eat, haha. As long as he is not losing weight, I wouldn't worry about it. He'll eat when he's hungry

yeah that is what i figured to. i wish they ran wild in my yard lol. all we have around here is red bellies and green garters. my kids want red bellies this summer , which are really easy to keep , i had them as a child all the time plus they r small and dont require a hug tank or vivarium.
