Here is a pic of corny going "off roading"

She is in an Offroad Zen Garden

Corny is in the tub with my cat Bouse (in dress) looking on.

A word of warning! At one point my cornsnake was trying to wiggle into the overflow drain, the little gap underneath the tub stopper on the wall. Luckily I grabbed her, but if you have a tiny cornsnake in the tub, remember to block up this hole - it can't be seen standing up!

Great looking corn, and funny photo with the cat

Off topic but I notice you have a Argentine B&W Tegu. I have some intrest in them, but wonder about the level of care they need. Have you had yours a while, and do you enjoy keeping it?

Thank you! She's nothing fancy but Corny is a great girl!

About Arg. B&W Tegus - I have had mine since July/Aug 2004 and he has been great. I got mine at the end of his babyhood and he is still growing (long way off from full grown!).

He has pretty much been easy-great eater, "dog tame", very low key.

The only prob i've had with him was one BIG one: about 3 wks after we got him, he stopped using his front legs. I couldnt understand why he got Metabolic Bone disease (which is what it was) because he was always supplemented and had a nice long uva and uvb light cycle. The place we got him, we concluded, is a great place but often houses a lot of animals together, and the workers toss food in every day. We figured out that he probably wasn't eating enough for his growing body before we got him, and probably didn't get uv light either. There is a lot we realized in hindsight about his condition when we bought him...However, in a month he amazingly recovered - he uses his front legs, moves fine, just has a kinked tail ....but is a great animal - totally opposite personality from my high strung BT monitor.

very easy to take care of, and good to handle
