Hi Everyone!
I am new to snake keeping and actually have always been very afraid of snakes til I met my friend's two corns. After much thought and some handling I decide to buy one for myself.
I found this list through the recommendation of a friend and bought a really nice, healthy Amel male from Chris Dotson in FL through your classifieds.
I cannot say enough about Chris. He was exceptional in every way. Kind, understanding, helpful, informative, experienced, honest. I would NEVER hesitate to buy another snake from Chris.
Did I mention my snake is beautiful???
I will post pics as soon as he is settled in. BTW his name is Socrates!

Thanks Jimmy! You are funny! I think I will probably be calling you for some of those hatchlings you are expecting this year!!! Your Okeetee males are so beautiful too!! We'll see. I can't believe I have a snake! Last night he crawled out from under his log and he was at the top of the glass trying to escape...Believe it or not I think this is progress...He at least came out from under his cork log!!!

let him get settled in.
Don't be surprised if he hides a lot.
That's what they do, hide, eat, drink, deficate and hide some more.

Welcome to the addiction. You'll find that corn snakes are like potatoe chips. You can't have just one.
