    Free pickup!

    I know I've been away for what feels like forever! My job has been switched around as my company is making big changes and I've been working 55+ hours. Anyways I got a call from a guy I go to church with saying his neighbor has a few snakes he is needing to give away. So I go over there and he has three beautiful corn snakes...all in the same cage. He gave me the snakes, 20 gallon long tank, heat mat, decorations, hides and about 100 pinkies for FREE! The guy was 86 years old and he still loved keeping snakes but his health has made it difficult for him so he decided it was time to part ways with his snakes. I promised I will give them great care. It was sad seeing the look in Johns face, and I know I'll probably be there someday but im still happy about the pickup. Pics will come later I promise.

    That's awesome, Joe! I'm sure he knows you will take very good care of his snakes.

    Thanks! I already switched them into sepperate tanks and threw the one they were in outside, it was DISGUSTING. They guy also had pinecones in there with them which I'm guessing probably wasn't good. Gave them all fresh filtered water. I've already lost one in my jacket lol, they are a little quicker than my bp's!

    Corns are often found in/around pine trees and in pine forests in the wild. Nice pick up, they're definitely fun snakes.
