And how many of your would-be Trick-or-Treaters fled in PANIC? :confused:

:D

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm not a big snake fan but she sure is a pretty color.:) What kind of snake is she?

[Miss Z]

She's beautiful!

[Chilli]

Stunning! Its amazing how fast she's growing. She certainly is a beauty.

[buttercup132]

She sure is growing fast! Very pretty girl.

[My Peanuts]

WOW, she really DID get big!

[ramanth]

Thanks all!

She's a creamsicle cornsnake. :)

[Argranade]

What a beautiful girl, she's gotten so big! :D

She looks like a hotdog between the corn lol,

Thanks for sharing.

[DJFyrewolf36]

How pretty! The first pic is my favorite ;)

[Muddy4paws]

Shes very pretty.

I must admit their is a reptile shop Ive been visiting for a while now, I cant passby without going inside. They have snakes like your and they also have the really big ones too. Im starting to get over my sort of fear.

Are they nippy? I also thought that snakes are tempermental and nippy but Im changing my mind now. lol

[sweetpatata6]

She's so pretty! Her colors are so vibrant, in the first picture she looks fake!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

Lucy is getting so big! She is such a beautiful girl.

Are they nippy? I also thought that snakes are tempermental and nippy but Im changing my mind now. lol
All snakes are different, their temperment depends on what kind of snake they are and how they are raised. Corn snakes are great snakes and generally aren't nippy. Our corn snake is incredibly laid back and easy going.

[KittyGurl]

Lucy got so big and beautiful. What a pretty snake!

[ramanth]

Thanks again all! I'm so glad I got these shots of her. We fed her the same day and she's been MIA since which means she's about to shed again. :D

Like Kari said, it depends on the type of snake. Cornsnakes are generally good natured. Lucy has never nipped but I make sure I don't smell like mouse when I'm handling her. ;)

[Cinder & Smoke]

We fed her the same day and she's been MIA since ...

:eek:

Just HOW *Missing* is she??

As in LOOSE in the apartment missing - or
Hidden in her lil house missing?? :confused:

I'd hate to think of all the "neet" hiding places a lil snakie could find in an apartment:
* under the stove or refrigerator
* under the kitchen of bathroom sinks
* under or in the dressers
* in closets

I really hope she's not gone too long --- will ANY of the FurKids help *sniff* her out?

C'mone OUT, Lucy - we want to see your New *Skins*!

[Suki Wingy]

She's really grown! How old is she now, getting to be a year, right? Anyway, she is really gorgeous.

[ramanth]

It's okay Phred! She's not missing OUT of her cage. She's been curled up deep inside her hide box. Sometimes she buries herself under the Aspen shavings and all you see is just a small part of her. Her cage is lockable so she's not escaping anytime soon. ;) :D

Suki, she's a year and 5 months. :)

[sandragonfly]

cool pictures, lucy's a perfect decoration. and you caught her tongue!

kim, I'm surprised you say she's a creamscile because shouldn't she be lighter - orange instead of red and creme instead of orange? I swear she looks like my albino cornboy. he is gone now. :(

[ramanth]

Lucy was bred by Kathy Love who wrote the book on corn snakes, literally. :) She's definitely a creamsicle.

Creamsicles are hybrids between an albino Corn Snake and an emory's rat snake/common corn cross. These snakes bring out the yellow and downplay the reds of the Corn Snake. Most are varying shades of yellow with darker yellow to orangish blotches. Clutches are generally smaller in number but produce larger more vigorous hatchlings. Creamsicle with less emory background and increased amelanistic corn generally have lighter backgrounds and red to orange saddles(red creamsicle).

She's still growing and may yet get lighter but we're hoping she keeps the red.

I'm very sorry about your loss. :(

[sandragonfly]

yeah, probably she's still growing - makes sense. just that I went to reptile store the other day, saw one creamsicle about the same size as lucy and it was very creme. again, pictures don't really do the justice.

thank you.
