Hocotate (Hoco) - Anery Corn Snake Progression

[Homebody]

Granted, what I meant was "I'd have two compatible snakes that would be capable of breeding if there was ever a point in time where I wanted and was capable of attempting it" and not "I wanted to get this with the explicit intention of breeding." But you are right either way.

Oh, I wasn't trying to give you advice. I was just stating a general axiom which you did such a great job demonstrating.

Just some handling session pics.





He sheds so often, my goodness. Did not expect the corn growth spurt phase to be so explosive.

What a lovely corn snake. At least you can "relax" with this one, haha.

[Snagrio]

Hoco's getting so big, just shy of 200 grams now. His enclosure upgrade can't get here soon enough, I want to see him really climb around haha.



At this point I'm convinced he is indeed a coral anery (if you could rechange the title Boger, please ), it's just a poor expression.

Still can't stop thinking of this coral anery motley female from the same breeder that's always at my monthly local. She's around my male's age too and showcases the red factor gene a lot better. Ah the mental struggle of too many snakes, too little time/space/resources.

[Bogertophis]

She IS very pretty- but then you'd feel sort of "obligated" to breed them- Just be sure that's what you really want, & have the time, money & space for. And there will ALWAYS be more temptations.

[Snagrio]

He turned 2 today!

[Bogertophis]

He's coming along BEAUTIFULLY! Happy Hatch-day, Hoco

Was waiting until he came out of shed, but here he is (for as long as my pictures will stay up on here at least).






Can barely tell he has red factor by now unless you look at the pink hues on the sides of his head/neck, but oh well.
