Well I finally got a snow corn snake. For the past month or so Ive been reading and did post a few questions here, thanks for all your advice. Ive taken and used it all. Anyhow, last night was to be her first feeding at home, I went to feed her and she was sheding. I left her alone for a few more hours then fed her. It went soooooo well, she took the pinkie right away. I cant even start to say how happy I was. I have a few pics but I dont know how to put them on this site so Ill just post the link to them for now. They arent as good as most of the pics Ive seen here, I dont know how you all get such great pics.

There isn't much better then a successful first feeding. It is big weight off your shoulders.
Pretty little snow.

Every where I read people were having problems feeding their snakes, so I was really worried.
Of course I think shes so beautiful! Now I just need a name for her.

I had trouble coming up with names for my snows. I finally just went with "cold" names.
I have Glacier, Frosty and my youngest Yeti..
Here is a picture of Yeti, she looks a lot like your new little snow.

an pictures of my other two snows, Glacier first and then Frosty.

Those are beautiful snakes and of course the pic quality is great. Next day off Im playing with the camera!
So far the poor snakehas been called Kitty, I named her that because my mom and sister swore they wont ever come in my house again if I get a snake lol Since then Ive added princess to it, just one of those stupid pet names you give to those that you love

I really have to play with the camera more, kids are so much easier to take pics of, they stay still when told to,well sometimes lol So do my lizards now that I think of it, I have good pics of them its just the snake seems to want to turn away from the camera all the time. I guess shes shy
