Why are there so many babies on this site

[CKRON]

Just an observation, but why are there so many baby snakes on this site. It seems every picture is a baby corn.

I would like to see some full gown snakes too please.

Just wondering out loud:shrugs:

I think a lot of people just like to show off their newer babies haha.

 

[Christen]

Probably that is because that is what most people get. I don't think very many people get adults and we all like showing off our new babies. Then the breeders like to show off the babies that they hatch.

We are at the end of breeding season here so breeders posting baby pics are going to slow down but of course everyone buying those babies are going to post pics.

 

[CKRON]

Ok, but colors and patterns change with age right?

Lets see some mommas and papas please.

However I do understand the reason for all the kid pics

 

[Christen]

A lot of people do progression threads to show from baby to adult. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see in adult form?

Indeed colors change. I just realized how much my motley boy changed.

 

[CKRON]

Yes please, Okeetee, Bloodred, maybe a few others but the names are confusing as hell...

Back when I first started there where two names, "corn snake" and "red rat" and they were both the same:laugh:

Man the colors are crazy now

Its just to hard to tell what a baby snake will look like all grown up, you can get an idea but it will change most of the time.

I can't wait to see how much more his color progresses. He's only a year now, so we'll see.

While I do post baby pics, you'll find that the majority of the threads I start in the photo Gallery are of adults. I much prefer to photograph the older snakes but just haven't had as much time due to all the babies I still have to care for.

This is also the season for baby corns. There are usually a lot of exited new members showing off thier hatchlings this time of year...

Welcome to the stite by the way...

Here ya go! Before and after.

 

[Kokopelli]

It's just easier to take pictures of babies... adults are a bit more difficult to maneuver and take decent photos of.

 

[Christen]

Oh I find adults easier. I am able to leave them when changing settings without having to worry about them darting.

I'll play
The every adorable Fin Fang:

The fairly cranky and aptly named Amel Boy:

 

[CKRON]

Man those Okeetee's are fricken AWESOME!!!

Come AWN people post up some more!

 

[CKRON]

Bad pic of mine

 

[Christen]

Oh CKRON he is beautiful. I held back a baby this year cause I think he will look just like yours. I don't have a classic looking normal corn, just normals that look like something else, so I decided I needed one.

Mine is still a baby, but I'm taking a lot of pictures of her and I continue to post them in the same thread, so if you check back in a few years, you'll get so see some adult pictures.
