[Jools1234]

Sid is HUGE omg he is about 5 feet odd now.... thought a corn snake would be little

 

[Jools1234]

5ft is a good size for a corn snake, only a couple of ours went over 4.5ft, do you feed sid in his viv?

 

[Springy]

Yes as he is about 5 now and is used to it.....

normaly no would feed them in a seperate 'feeding box'

Bit blase with him really as he is soo good

 

[Jools1234]

i ask cos we were always told to feed them on newspaper due to them ingesting bedding when feeding and getting a blockage, the newsprint contains a chemical that prevents lice/mites and things too or so we were told

 

[Floxie]

A Carolina corn and a Mexican black king I feed in the Viv now cos I'm lazy (and the mbk is nuts) - it's fine if you keep an eye on them and don't mind having to dodge the front end when you get them out - but mine have always been a little bit hunty so I have to find the tail anyway

 

[LauraWheeler]

He looks like our snake
Meet MrSnake

This pic is of him when he was small he's now nearly 5ft long
We feed him in his viv didn't know you were ment to do anything diffrent

I have 3 corn snakes Springy.

Noodle was my first one, I rescued her from somebody's toilet cistern and she was only the size of a tealight curled up at the time. She 4 1/2 ft now and still growing. She's bright orange and red.

Copper was the second one who was found in a police station, and my OH decided to keep him. He was about a foot long when we first got him and is about 3 1/2 ft now. He's a darker browny/orange.

Finally, Lucozade, who is a bright dazzling luminous orange with bright orange eyes, who was found in somebody's garden, and is only the size of an earthworm still! He's a feisty little sod, whereas the other two are very placid.

That being said me and the OH have been bitten by Noodle and Copper but that was all the OH's fault!

Then again, I have been bitten by an Asian water snake, tortoise, dogs, feral cats, hamsters, rabbits, squirrels, buzzards, and worst of all a fox attached itself to my shin infront of a crowd of people and I ended up spending five hours in hospital whilst they decided if I was going to fade away with some god awful disease and consulted with a specialist in London (middle of the night too). So embarrassing.

#CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE !!! lol

 

[Moomin1]

#CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYWHERE !!! lol

I'm a total disaster Springy!

 

[joeanne]

Then again, I have been bitten by an Asian water snake,

My worst "snake bite" to date was an amazon tree boa that got me right in the belly.
THAT hurt.....LOTS!

Snakes rock though (most reptiles do in fact!)

 

[Springy]

God sid has never bit me..... Now i'm scared

 

[joeanne]

Being bitten by a cornsnake is like being savaged by velcro......it honestly doesn't hurt.
The strike might make you jump though. LOL

Agree.

I absolutely love them.

Chameleons are amazing - they have me in stitches watching them! But I am not keen on them being available really due to the complexity of keeping them healthy etc. People don't realise how awkward they are to look after and a lot end up dying in the wrong hands.

 

[joeanne]

Am going to shock myself by yet again agreeing with you Moomin.
Chameloeons should NOT be available to Joe Public. Even experienced keepers struggle at times, with humidity, uv levels, calcium deficiency....*sighs*

But....Luna

Amel stripe

Crimson

Charcoal (NOT Anery )

Lily

Lewis

And Baby snow

 

[Springy]

Is Lewis a royal ?

All i know about cameleons is budwiser and pretty colors lol

Oh and Boy George pmsl

See can't even spell it lol

 

[joeanne]

Yes, both Lewis and Lily are Royal's (or ball pythons if you are a yank!)
Lily was found in an attic, and Lewis was found in a park.

 

[KHippo]

I have 7 had 18 at one point but have reduced our collection since then. Currently have 3 royals, a gtp, a carpet, western hognose and a woma python. Much easier than horses lol!

 

[TheresaW]

We have Roland the rat snake, and Cuddles the Royal Python. We were given Roland, no idea how old he is, and we've had cuddles since she was a baby. She will be 6 this year. Haven't got any photos on phone.

I NEED to see the Woma and the Hoggy. My two most favorite snakes!!
The woma's are simply stunning.
I had tri coloured hoggies years ago, but just the shape of the face makes me smile

 

[KHippo]

Haha here u go joeanne

Noodle the woma

And diglet the hognose!

And here's yoshi, the OH's baby!

 

[hamper05]

Haha here u go joeanne

Noodle the woma

I have to say, I really don't like snakes (sorry everyone!) but that is a beauty.

 

[KHippo]

Thanks hamper05! He was only a baby in that pic, don't have any recent pics of him as he thinks everything is food & tries to eat the camera. He's not very clever lol!

 

[echodomino]

Where've all you snake people been hiding!!

I have five, not bad for saying hubby is petrified and said I couldn't have any!! Took 4yrs for him to change his mind, still won't go near them though.

Gert, grey banded king snake:

Ernie, snow corn (he's a bit bigger now):

Aggie, royal python:

Huxley, western hognose:

And last but not least (and if I can persuade hubby not last either )
Libby, chihuahua mountain king snake:

 

[KHippo]

Echodomino do you find your hoggie is a bit mental? Mine is hilarious, often hear him hissing to himself in the evening, he does his bestest cobra impressions at dinner time too, headbutting his mouse like a nutter! Pick him up though & he's like a puppy lol

 

[jellybean55]

Eek some of those snakes are really pretty but they scare the hell out of me, I couldn't stay in a house if there was a snake there

 

[erminex]

I have a black blood python

Reptiles are amazing, but snakes in particular occupy a special place in my heart. Once I move out of the parents house I'll be able to expand, but for the moment it's just the one.

 

[Floxie]

Beauuuuuuuuuutiful!

I'd love a hoggie, I think they're cracking lil guys

LOL he's a lot mental, he hisses and does the "cobra" and he's headbutted me but you pick him up and he just sits there with an "oh you're not going to eat me" look on his face! Has yours played dead yet? I was on ReptileForum UK the other day and someone on there had one who'd flipped over to play dead:

Seriously how many snakes die with their mouths wide open? LOL

Beauuuuuuuuuutiful!

Get one!! They're awesome little characters, that's what makes me laugh with mine - he's just over a foot long will make 2ft if he's lucky and he does all this "yea I'm tough look at my "cobra" head" and he hisses and headbutts and I find myself thinking hmm what are you really going to do half pint!!
