I held a snake for the first time!

Yesterday I was able to hold a snake for the very first time, and it happened to be a gorgeous corn snake. I was absolutely thrilled to hold him and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would!

It took a while but the guy watching over the snake finally got me to let him go lol

Yay! Congratulations! That is definitely one beautiful corn snake. :)

Also, I love your scarf. Haha.

Thank you! My mother actually made the scarf, she gets upset (with good reason) whenever I don't wear the stuff she makes, I wear it almost everyday now haha. The snake actually tried to get into my scarf :P

Congratulations! I remember the first one I held... it was nothing like I expected it to be. I expected a wet, slimey feel. Not the case at all... so now that you've held one... when will you be getting one? :)

Congrats! :)

I love the cool patterns on that Corn!

I had the same pattern on my corn....then it got out....still looking for it!

I grew up catching wild garter snakes and turning them loose again - but the first 'pet' snake I ever held, when I was 12 years old, was a 12-foot albino Burmese Python named 'Baby', at an educational display in a local mall. I wanted snakes ever since - just maybe not quite that big. Finally managed to get my first pet snakes at the start of this year... 27 years later.

Just a warning !

A while back whilst buying tropical fish in the local pet store - an assistant ( who knew me well ) kinda placed a beaut 24" Butter corn snake into my hands as it had messed its viv up .
The next day I went back and bought a Snow corn plus set-up !!

Years later I've got 21 various types of SNAKES !!

I actually expected to be afraid of his head or not like the feel, but that was not the case at all and I actually liked how he held on, it made me feel like he was secure. And to answer your question, I am hoping to get my first snake this summer, after holding a corn snake I'm heavily leaning towards getting one.

congrats!

i held my first snake which was also a Corn that was our classroom pet many, many years ago when i was in the 4th grade. i always though snakes were cool and holding one for the first time burned a passion into me. and many, many years later - i have my own. (i actually have many. :) )

i hope u get your own soon too.
