Thanks!,.......I rescued him from 5 Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds that had him tightly surrounded in my back yard in '05. He was poised upright with his head way up high in the typical "S" position, frantically trying to defend himself against the overwhelming odds.

He was also extremely thin when captured, and must have had a pretty tough life in the wild. He's got it MUCH easier nowadays, and is doing just fine........glad you like him!

best regards, ~Doug

Yep,
There is Milo, Isabeau, Charley, Hobbes, Ally, Munchkin, Dakota, Mitzi and Scooter
and the dogs are Sandy, Dusty, Sam, Hank and Jessie

The little musk turtles are pretty cool.
They were about the size of a dime when they hatched.
I will see if I can get a decent picture.

So, besides my 145 snakes (including corns, kings, milks and rat snakes), my favorite would have to be my two german Shepherds (black and tan and all black). I also have my daughters cat, my two baby red eared sliders.
I used to have African grey parrots, ferrets, tarantulas, scorpions, bearded dragons, water dragons, but I gave them up to concentrate on snakes.

...I am loving seeing what other people are into! I actually only have one pair of corns at the moment (although I have had many more in the past and I feel more may be coming in the future). The bulk of my collection is Kenyan sand boas and I also keep a pair of ball pythons.

STEVES_KIKI Mar 19, 2008 06:52 AM

I THINK sand boas are cute.... not just becaus ethey are kenyan and my name is Kinion. which sounds the same... but i think they look like cute worms

Only have one corn at present, but pretty sure will be acquiring more in the future (if my wife permits!!)1.1 Thayeri, 1.1 pueblans, 1.1 alternas, black lab mix, 20 fish, and 3.0 wonderful children.

tspuckler Mar 19, 2008 08:07 AM

I work with far more Honduran Milks than I do corns. I have a good mix of snakes, including garter, king, pines and other milks.

I also keep alligator lizards, tiger salamanders, newts and barking treefrogs. Over the past few years I've become somewhat of a "turtle junkie" acquiring 19 (10 box and 9 Asian semi-aquatics - all captive bred).

Below is a pic of my Florida Boxies.

That is the blackest Black Kingsnake (L. g. nigra) I've ever seen, in person or in photos. They are native here in TN, and I'd like to work with them, but the TN regs require that I import them from out of state.

I was going to say the same darn thing, that one almost looks like a Mexican Black King.
I've caught my share of Eastern Black Kings and they all had at least some white pattern on them.

Wiseman, you've got some outstanding non-corn stuff - especially those Pitupohis!

That's too bad. I'm not a fan of big vacation getaways, but it's nice to go visit here and there for 3 or 4 days.
That is what is stopping me from getting other pets. It is hard to find someone who would like to take care of our exotic ones.

I usually try to go to Florida for a few days every year to do a little bass fishing and my wife usually goes to visit her family when possible but anything more then one or two nights, together, just doesn't happen.
