Hi everyone! New snake owner here, I got my first and best girl Lola on December 12th 2020, a pet-only female Miami - she has a single kink in her spine that doesn't affect her eating or quality of life at all, and is where she got her name . Her hatch date is supposedly around May 2020.
She then gave me a heart attack by escaping her enclosure on 12/25 and didn't return until January 16th! During that time I read many stories of corn snakes, even neonates, surviving even months escaped as long as they don't get eaten, so after tearing my house apart top to bottom, I just thought of her as my house snake and counted her as presumed alive until found dead.
During that time, I realized I did still want a snake that wasn't a house snake, lol, so I purchased a female fire corn, HD July 2020, that I named Munch, since her head stamp looked like The Scream by Edvard Munch. Of course, the evening of the day that I brought home Munch, Lola was found, thirsty but unharmed Munch is a big baby, probably twice as big as Lola!
I have them in a 20 gallon long with a divider in the middle, with a heat mat under the divider so they have a shared hot spot, and cool spots on the ends. This enclosure locks with pins, so I don't anticipate any more escapes hahaha.
Finally, my last girl is yet unnamed, a normal Carolina corn I found online and picked up on impulse this weekend - her previous owner didn't have time for her anymore and was rehoming her and her whole setup for cheap, and I figured why not Unknown hatch date, but she's about Lola's size.
I am very much enjoying caring for these sweet, beautiful snakes and I am so excited to see how they grow! I don't have any pictures of the new one yet, but I've attached pictures of Lola and Munch
