    Haha, no Thunder stolen but thanks as I did not remember that. In another day I'm going to check her and make sure the eye caps came off properly but being that she just ate yesterday I didn't want to upset her in any way..

    Pro tip, you can check the shed for the eye caps instead of waiting to check her. If there is a clear scale in both spots where the eyes are in the shed, then they are not stuck on the snake.

    You gave me a laugh, Jellybeans...I can picture you & your little corn snakes playing "peekaboo". I just love nosy snakes...

    I used to have a pair of glossy snakes...sort of a creamy beige with black & brown freckles, they don't get very big (about 3') & they're docile f/t mouse-eaters.
    Raising their "kids" was a real challenge though, they start off as lizard-eaters. That's why you don't see them captive-bred...like my TX longnose snake, they
    take some time & expertise to "convert". Both glossy & longnose snakes have a fairly narrow face, so they don't eat bigger mice than hoppers. Nice pets as
    adults though.

    Our younger corn is majorly nosy like that also.

    When he feels my footsteps in the room, he will peek out and proceed to come all the way out of his hides and up to the sliding glass doors and watch me, particularly in the evening. I think he believes he is more likely to be fed by doing this. He'll just sit there and stare at me.

    Congrats. I'm seriously considering getting a corn before long also.

    Oh my gosh, yes. This exactly! He will kind of move his head side to side to see me better, and it looks exactly like someone shifting around to catch a waitress's eye. Hahaha.
