I have come to introduce myself.

[Nifer]

Hello I just signed up for this forum today, I'm eager to learn all that I can.
As I'm sure you can see by my signature I basically live in a zoo, but only the rodents, hermit crabs, and fishtank are in my room.
I will be getting my first snake in 4 days, a corn snake. In the future I would love to get a ball, it was just not an option for my first snake however, as I am still living at home, and my big argument was how small a corn stayed.
I plan to eventually get a ball when I move out of my house but that might be 1-2 years from now...or who knows when. But I like to do the proper research regardless. Heck I thought I'd have to wait about 7 months to get my snake into the house and I had my parents convinced in the beginning of april, and started reasearch mid march. So there's hope
Can't wait to meet you all and learn all about the lovely snakes here.

Welcome to the forums! I believe Ed Clark may be around your area. He's got some pretty nice ball pythons and I bet be great for help

Check out the cornsnake section for some great threads and pictures to keep you going till you get your new snake.

And of course check out all the caging threads to make sure everything is set up ready for snakedown.


Oh - and we luuuuurvvve pictures so we'd be delighted if you happened to have a camera when your putting him into his new house.

I hope to get my ball eventually direct from a breeder so this information is ideal. I work at petco so I'd rather not get a snake from there, just as I'm getting my corn at the Havre De Grace reptile show this weekend.

Don't worry I plan on checking out every aspect of this site and before registering noted that there was a corn snake board

I also belong to a corn snake board and they've been dealing with me through all of this. I've had the habitat set up for well over a week, and the UTH thermostat and thermometer with probe set up since last week*cough* I'm excited can't you tell?
And I have a nikon digital camera that I love, so fear not, you'll probally regret requesting me to post pictures because I doubt I'll stop once I get started.

Welcome to the forums! I love people who do research. It saves the headache. I also enjoy the fact that you won't be buying from PetCo. So thank you for doing research and I can't wait to see pictures of your new Corn!

I love it when people are like "wait...don't you work there? You can get a discount!"
I really don't like the thought of buying something so intricate as a snake from there. I want to know where the snake came from, who it's parents were, possible shed and feeding records, I want to do this all the right way for my first herp
