This weekend I put the deposit down on my first snake, and it's a beauty
I've been researching snakes relentlessly, toying with option on which snake would be my first and finally deciding I like the corn variety. And then going about the mammoth task of deciding on a morph.
I liked the Lavenders but finding one in the Cape was proving to be difficult. So I settled on getting a Candycane. As luck my have it the local, reliable pet shop were getting a bunch of candycane's in from their breeder. And on Saturday morning I checked their Facebook page and their stock had arrived!! Needless to say ten minutes later I found myself and my girlfriend sitting on the floor in the pet shop with three tubs worth of little hatchlings infront of me with almost 20 to choose from.
Normals, Amels, Candycanes galore. And then I laid my eyes on one that looked somewhat different. Took it out and let it explore my hands when my girlfriend, who's terrified of snakes, held out her hand and let him do some exploring there too! It was just meant to be. So here's my new baby, a beautiful, butter corn! Unfortunately these are the only pics I have (I was forced to take these) But you can see the little guy brilliantly
Hmm she wasn't too sure here
"This is so cool!"
"This one"
