Licorice sticks!

My daughter is very excited about this project. She has "adopted" this one from me. Next year she will have her own corn project but this year it is these.

This girl laid about 9 eggs for me last year, but this year wooo-hooo!

Nice looking mom, good luck with them eggs. :)

Oh what a lovely snake! Hard to believe she could lay all those eggs! Your daughter must be terribly proud of her first step into the world of snake breeding (and I bet your very proud of her too). Best wishes on the clutch. :)

Hi,

They look amaaaaaaazing. :wuv:

Is that a white-sided motley corn? or is it mixed with something? its gorgeous!! congrats on the eggs too.

See, now I'm not into colubrids, but I really like that one! Too bad I can't own one legally in GA. :(

Why thank you Dr. Del! The white-sided trait is simple recessive.

Nothing but pure black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoleta obsoleta).

You cannot own any non-venomous snake that is indigenous to GA (that's king snakes, rat snakes, corn snakes). You can however, own venomous snakes indigenous to GA. Go figure.
