Meet Pearl!

My new lady arrived via FedEx from Graham at Strange Cargo Exotics this morning! She is a Coral Snow corn snake. She's exceptional, especially for a female coral (Males are usually much more colorful)!

I snapped a few pictures and left her to settle in, and I'm really excited to show her off!! Naturally, since she's a pink snake, it's been impossible to get a shot that captures her colors accurately! >.< She's much brighter than this in reality. Once she's settled, I'll do an outdoor photo shoot.

She's here to make beautiful pink babies with Kostya (my Bubblegum Snow). She was bred to a bubblegum this year and laid a lot of eggs which all hatched, so she should be perfect! She also has a feisty personality, which I am going to enjoy!

Belly shot!

I LOVE her pattern!

Not to mention her little "bald spot" on the top of her head.

She bit me multiple times during the photoshoot, but this was the only time she held on long enough for me to get a picture!

Oh, gosh she is beautiful! Welcome Pearl!

Pearl's really pretty! Not so sure I'd like the 'biting' part!

LoL, corn snakes are usually so docile that it amuses me to no end when they show a spicy side. I would guess that she hasn't been handled much since she came from someone who has rather a lot of animals and probably doesn't get to spend a lot of one on one time with individual snakes. I'm sure she'll settle down with some handling, but I've always wanted a corn with some 'tude, so I almost hope she doesn't!!

Here is her future husband, come spring! My Kostya! <3

Pearl sure is a pretty girl snake. With her feisty disposition being the way it is, would she pass this on to her future babies? Are snakes fussy about who is their mate? Kostya is a handsome fella too.
