You rang?
Since I've already hit the boards with pesky questions, I thought an intro might be in order. :)

While husband was talking me into a large constrictor (we've mutually agreed I can tolerate a ball python), I had a chance to handle my first baby corn (an amel). The pet shop employee - a herp student in college - is a big corn-fan. I learned enough to get hooked - gentle personalities, easy keepers, spectacular color variety, glossy-smooth skin (okay, that's not unique to corns, but it's a plus for me!).

I'm reading a few books I picked up, started a list of things I need to do, browsed websites and photos until I'm nearly cross-eyed. This summer I'll even be close enough to visit some breeders. I've already decided on a pair. I'm just not totally convinced I'll breed them (in case I decide to, how old should they be?)

Today, I'm leaning toward hypos and charcoals/ghosts. But that will likely change daily until I meet my first baby(ies) in person! I look forward to learning more here than the lots I've already absorbed.
 
Well welcome to the forums. Feel free to ask any questions, or you can always (and should) use the handy search button. :) John

Hi Kitty, welcome to the Forum!

There is a lot of very nice people here with a lot of good advice and remember: "there are no stupid questions if you don't know the answers" so if you have a question….
Also, it might already have been asked/answered and there is a search option which is very handy. ;)

Here is another one:
