Corn snake help?

[Gato'smum]

Wow, thanks for all the information! I really appreciate it. I volunteer at a museum, so I work with snakes pretty frequently; I kind of know the basics of handling/caring for a snake, but not on a 24/7 basis...

It's not much different than caring for them occasionally. Honestly, sometimes I go days without opening any of the cages. As long as they have clean water and no poop in the cage, they're happy. Mira is a little more high maintenance at the moment just because she's so tiny, but everyone else gets a once over weekly when I feed them and then only occasional handling.

So, from your experience with them, how well do corn snakes generally put up with being handled?

[snakemama]

Quite well. Thery're one of the best "first" snakes because they are calm and easy to handle. The bite from Pearl is the only corn snake bite I've ever recived, except for nips from teeny babies! They're also good classroom pets, because they tolerate handling by a variety of people.

Wow, shes gorgeous! My cousin use to have a python, but he eventually had to give him away because he went away to college. I always thought snakes were interesting pets. I wish I could have one, but I don't think my mom would be too happy about that.

I'm new here too and I had trouble posting pictures at first! What I did is made a photobucket account (at photobucket.com) and uploaded the pictures there. Then I copied the IMG code onto here and voila...pictures!

Your snake is lovely, but NOT a corn snake. I beileve it's an albino Nelson's milk snake.

Furthermore, does Clayton know you are posting his pictures? That picture belongs to Mesozoic Reptiles and that really should be stated. AFTER you ask his permission to use his photo.
