I finally signed up after lurking about for a bit. I have a female Okeetee youngling about 13 inches long. She's been making herself at home this last week since I bought her and is coming along fine. Now I'll start working on getting her used to my handling. She's actually my second corn. The first was a male ghost that left with the ex wife a few years back :shrugs:

About myself, I make my living as a computer geek and other hobbies include playing guitar, warcraft (FTW!) and watching my partner's two kids spin through the house like dust devils.

I would like to offer my apologies now for my occasional mutilation of English grammer. It is, sadly enough, my native language. (Me not dum I swar)

So, I'm pleased to meet you all. And I am looking forward to enjoying corn snake husbandry with you. I'll try to snap a few pics of Maizey and post them this weekend.

Kind Regards.
Me
 
welcome! this site is great. i like your corn's name. very cool. do you know if it is a boy or a girl?:):crazy02:
 
Maizey was labelled as a female when I purchased her. She's a neonate and I'm not sure how much stock I'll put in the determination of her sex by the pet shop. She does seem to have (to my inexperienced eye) a feminine tail though. I'm sure time will tell.

So! I have a confession to make......... I think I have a new addiction! I purchased an Amel hatchling a few days ago. I'm surprised at the difference in attitude of these two. Maizey is very secretive and quick to try to jump out of your hands, while Cob (the Amel) is extremely mellow when handled and loves to sit with it's head poking out of it's hidey spot as if it doesn't want to miss a thing.

I kept and bred tarantulas about a decade ago and I am seriously considering trying my hand at breeding corns. It seems evident that corns will be much easier to care for than a roomful of spiders. Especially since all corns can be kept at the same temp and humidity settings.

Best Wishes,
B
