love my corn snake
I got a corn snake in Feb for my 8 yr old son and as you can tell by my name I was not used to snakes. My boyfriend breeds snakes and lizzards and they talked me into a cute little corn snake at the reptile show in Kalamazoo, Mi.
My son decided to name him Elvis , so he can say Elvis has left the building if he gets out. (I was not thrilled with this concept :laugh: ) Well anyway 5 months later I am getting into the whole snake thing and very curious . I would love to go to another reptile show they are great!. Next year we hope to have a booth of our own. My son's snake has litterally become my snake , I take care of him and show him the attention and love he deserves. He has beautiful markings and a great disposition . He has never showed any aggression and loves to be held. I am still working on taking him out of the tank on my own but still haven't gotten up the nerve . (I don't know whos more skiddish him or me :laugh: ) Anyway when my boyfriend hands him to me I am just fine handling him .I think corns snakes are a great choice for a first time snake owner. He teases me and calls me girlygirl, but the girls at work give me a lot of credit and can't believe I can deal with all those snakes. They said they would have been long gone ,so I can't be to much of a girlygirl :laugh:
