YIKES I have this irrational fear of snakes, I wish I didnt. Another member here, Lore, has several cornsnakes, I think like 6 of them. Cornsnakes always have beautiful colors.

What a beautiful snake! Makes me wish hubby would let me have another... but probably better I don't right now.

When Frankie was a kitten she was nearly eaten by a 12' burmese python... she got a long lecture about snakes that day and ever since she is VERY cautious around reptiles... curious but cautious.

In the 4 year that i've had him he has only bitten once and that was a feeding accident. My husbands hand got in the way. I'd love to have more but really don't have the space.

He's a full corn too ('fraid i can't remember the latin...lol) whilst our other has no colour pigmentation, just black white n grey.

Thanks for letting me share him with you. ;-)

Oooo he is pretty. I've always sorta wanted a snake, but I don't like them is they move fast and I don't want to get bit.

99% of bitings aren't the snakes fault. My red tail boa was a grumpy boy but even with him, use your head and you won't be bit. If he was looking aggitated then I didn't take him out. He bit me twice... both times were my fault. I was taking him out but he was asleep. When I touched him it spooked him and he bit me. The second time he was already out and I mistakenly didn't put Wickett in a different room. Wickett made some quick movement and I got bit... I'm just glad it was me and not him.
