I have been toying with the idea of getting a corn snake for a while. Initially when I was trying to deciding what snake to get my daughter for her birthday, it had been a toss up between a ball and a corn. At the time I hadn't found any baby corns with the colorations that I like, only the oranges and reds. I had been looking for a lavender but hadn't seen any in ages. I found Sydney (bp) first and he absolutely beautiful and such a snake that I can't regret it.
Today I found the most adorable lil itty bitty snow corn. It must be a new baby or something because in all my wanderings and window shoppings I have never seen one so small. Probably thinner than a pencil this one is but OMG so adorable. I fell in love instantly. So now I am thinking that I would really like to get it. Its not the purply color I was looking for originally but this is one beautiful snake. I have a set up already that I just need to get a thermometer and UTH for. So whatcha think?? Everything I have read says they are great eaters and pretty docile snakes.
Oh.. OMT... It was a mom and pop place where I was shopping at and had come highly recommended to me from a very good friend of mine. They sell fish and herps and some spiders and what not. OMG I have never seen such pristine fish tanks in any store. Made me seriously want to consider setting up another SW tank. They had this green tree boa that was to die for along with a couple beautiful carpet pythons. <sigh>
