    I iz maaaadd!!

    Well, tonight was the night I always dread - time to clean evil Betty's tub! I have 30 pythons & colubrids, ranging in size from 3-6ft, and guess who scares me the most? This pretty little ~400g Miami Phase corn, who bites and whips me every chance she gets. I've had her for a few years now, but she just hasn't tamed up at all... so I pretty much leave her alone, except for the fun of cleaning day. Snapped a few pictures this time, since it's both scary and adorable when a widdle corn gets all aggressive-like.



    She sure is pretty, though...




    After a bit of a struggle, safe & sound in her "holding cell!"

    Betty says thanks for the compliments! I honestly haven't worked with her that much, since I do have 29 other snakes (plus 3 cats, a dog, and a full-time job) to worry about... and she's perfectly content just being a "look but don't touch" snake. I've tried finding her a new home, where she'd get more handling time, but for some odd reason nobody even wants her for free.

    FYI: She was kind of a rescue snake, since my friend went to buy some tanks off Craigslist, and the seller threw in a few snakes too. He isn't into corns, so gave her to me... that was about 3 years ago, but unfortunately she still hasn't gotten used to me. Oh, and I don't even know for SURE she's a female, and know nothing of her genetics. So if she seems particularly attractive for a Miami, it's always possible there's something else going on there!

    I see you live in my area! I'd be more than happy to try and socialize her a bit for you if you'd like I work with aggressive dogs for a living, I am 100% not bothered with being bitten by snakes, especially such a lovely girl as her <3

    Hmmmm... that might be an idea. I'll send you a private message later!

    P.S. I live in San Jose - but my mother lives in the East Bay, so we could always meet there (about halfway between us).

    All the corns I met were pretty nice.
    I have held a few from PetSmart or PetCo that were evil little buggers.... but I solely blame the behavior on the stores, not the snakes.

    I had a hatchling Okeetee Corn that didn't eat right, and passed away 3 months later..... unfortuately I think the person who sold the snake to me knew this and gave me no warning about it when I bought it off of him.
    He didn't even tell me what kind of phase it was.... he just said "when it gets older, it'll look like a white man with the flu"
    I should've backed out of the deal right then, but I loved the cuteness of the hatchlings too much.
    And no refund... but that's ok though, because from that corn's death I got my beloved Triple Hybrids to replace it
    sucks that it passed, I actually really liked the temperment and look of the snake. Really chill, and liked people.
