just a hello to all members of this forum. and to say thanks for all the advice i have read on this site. I just recently joined because i became the proud owner of an Amel corn snake. He is 17weeks old and me and my 4 year old daughter adore him.she is allergic to all pet hair and was desperate for a pet of her own, there is a history of asthma in the family so we had to be choosy.she met and fell in love instantly with her uncles creamsicle so the decision was made. His name is Cosmo and he has just shed for the first time since we got him. I joined incase i neede any advice having never had a snake. All my questions have been answered without me asking. Sorry if this is to long as im knew to the world of computers never mind forums.
