| Aww thanks :) Corno is an anery (but that pic was taken last November so she's changed a LOT) and Ember is an amel cube (starts off as a stripe then changes to blocks later down). Prism is a Columbian Rainbow Boa (who we got in July at just a month old and ate for us for the first time on Saturday night, so was seriously stressing us out, and we are now over the moon, so I can understand your worry about trying to feed Zeezee lol). |

Throne Walker yeah that's what the people in the show suggested, just wondering can you buy them freshly killed and take them home or does they go un-fresh? If that makes sense? Like how long are they freshly killed for?
Bunny, omg I love Anery's!! I REALLY want one like a little hatchling one but I have no clue where I can get one, when I get another little viv I'll go hunting for one. And wow ember sounds like really cool, I've never seen stripes going to blocks before :O and wow a rainbow boa, do they require like lots and lots of caring? I know they need a certain humidity level but apart from that are they that hard? I'm also very interested in those haha.
Zeezee is home at last :D |

| Probably get shouted at for this, but why are you so desperate to get your snake off rat pups and onto mice? As long as you leave a sensible amount of time between feeds then feeding rats to her is, in my opinion not a problem. You can move her up to rat fluffs if the pups are too small and an adult corn can easily manage rat weaners. I actually have the opposite problem I have a corn that will only eat mice and I have tried everything to get him to eat a rat but he won't have any of it. So he will have to stick with mice. |

Anery's are the easiest morphs, along with amels, to find lol (not counting normals :p). I'm sure you would find one if you just hold out a bit ;)
Here is recent thread of mine showing Corno - and how much she has changed lol http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=26169
OMG Ember gets seriously neglected on the photo front, not got any recent threads of her so will have to rectify that! Here's an old thread: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23234&SearchTerms=ember
As for the rainbow - well your best bet is to have a look on the rainbow boa forum to find out more ;) I saw a few photos of Brazilian Rainbows and thought they were beautiful but the 'extra care' required put me off... but Blackcat (who funnily enough also has anery and amel cube corns :O) told me not to worry and that they were easy. We've not had her long enough to comment really (she's actually hubby's snake), but it's certainly been no problem so far keeping things more humid - you just have to clean them out a little more often :) Bit more expensive when they get older though as it's best to keep them in a plastic viv due to the humidity which are more pricy... |

| I thought that too Red, I think John has just been given very strong 'advice' from the pet shop to be honest which he obviously and understandably thought it was best to follow... |

Red, yeah everybody on here (on a different thread) and everyone at my reptile shop has told me she REALLY REALLY NEEDS to be on mice, and how she won't get the right nutrition. And a while back she wasn't pooing, and people put that down to her being on rats too. But to be honest, I think I am probably just going to keep her on rats, and just try mice occasionally on the off chance.
Bunny they are amaaazing :D I love the colour of Ember and Corno is just amazing!! I love anery's so much lol how old are your two corns now? |

100% agree with this- if it eats rats, feed it rats. |

Yeah, I think I will, too many people have been going mad telling me how badly she needs to be on mice I will just feed her rats from now on.
Bear, have you seriously got 18 corns plus more other snakes? O.o |

Awesome!! Corno is still insane, I love it haha.
And yeah lol I also want a snake tattoo I think that'd be awesome, like a tattoo of a snake like wrapped round the top of my arm and maybe over my shoulder, I just thought that would be pretty cool haha |
