I'm 31 yrs old now and single once again. My boyfriend decided he didn't want to be with me anymore right before Christmas time and broke up with me and so I had to move back in with my mom and sister and with her family. They moved in December as well to a huge house-renting. But I was able and fortunate to have an attic to make my own bedroom with plenty of room for my ever growing collection.

My interests include all animals. I grew up with Dogs, Cats, lizards, rabbits, and now snakes. I even had a tranchula (sorry if I didn't spell that right) for a pet once and a wild one at that because my dad brought it home to us when we were younger. But we let it back out in the wild after a couple of days. So really I love all creatures.

I have now successfully bred my youngest female Rose with my youngest male Kasper. They produced 19 viable eggs last summer and all 19 hatched in late July in 2011. I've sold several of them, kept two for myself and have 3 left for sale. I am now waiting for Zoe and Kasper's eggs to hatch in the next 20 days or so and my oldest female Diamond should be laying her eggs in the next month or so.

Within the past 3 or 4 years my biggest hobby has been wildlife photography,nature. I enjoy fishing, hiking, camping, swimming and spending time with my family. I'm not into music a whole lot and I don't watch much tv anymore.

1.Diamond is almost 6 yrs old. And is a Anerytherestic type A corn. She is 4ft and 3 inch long. She is my most docile one and very sweet natured. She loves to have her chin rubbed. Diamond was sexed as a female at the Indianapolis Reptile show in August 2009.
2.Zoe which I've been told is not a classic normal corn. And is 3 yrs and 10mo old. She is just very brightly colored and very beautiful. She is 40 inches long as of Feb.18,2012. Zoe was sexed as a female at the Indianapolis Reptile show in August 2009.
3.Rose,Classic normal. Rose is darker in color tones then Zoe is and has orange dots instead of stripes like Zoe. She also has a number sketched into her skin on her back which I find odd. She is the only one I have noticed that on. But she has the number 84 sketched into her skin. Weird, huh? I have been very lucky with Rose, as I have had her back since March 29, 2010 and she is doing very well. Rose is currently 3yrs and 7 months old and about 42 inches long.
4. Bindi is a Amelanistic.Bindi is currently 3 yrs old. I got Bindi on Jan 15, 2009. Bindi is currently 38 inches. And was sexed as a male at the Indy Mid-West Reptile show in August 2009. Bindi has calmed down nicely for me and is very sweet. He is my oldest male corn snake that I have and he is gorgeous.
5. Kasper(male) is my newest member of my corn snake family. He was probed as a male after my boyfriend bought him for me on August 30, 2009 at the Mid-West Reptile show in Indy. He is a Silver Queen Ghost corn snake and he has really lightened up in color since I got him. He is a very good eater and he's so cute and such a quick little guy. I really can't wait to see him when he is an adult corn snake. He's going to be gorgeous. He's 17 inches long and around 4 1/2 months old. Kasper is now 2 yrs and 7 moths old. He's still very gorgeous and very big for his age. His close to 5 foot long and very slender and a great eater. And he's the only one that is willing to breed with my females.

Summer 2011-Bred my Normal classic female Rose with my Silver Queen Ghost corn Kasper-produced 19 eggs, all eggs hatched. Produced-5 Amels, 4-Anery's, 3-Ghost, 3-Snow's, 2 hypos, 2 normals. I kept one snow-named Ivory and one Hypo-named Mercury. Still have available for sale-one Amel, one normal, and one ghost.
Winter 2011/Spring 2012- Bred my Second oldest female Zoe, non classic normal-with my Silver Queen Ghost Kasper- produced 13 eggs, 3 slugs and 10 viable but recently 3 of those 10 went bad and died-so I have 7 eggs still left incubating right now.
Also bred my oldest female Diamond-Anery with my Silver Queen Ghost Kasper- she has yet to lay her eggs but will in the next 30 days or so.

Right now I have everything I want with the room that I have available to me. But if I did have more space and money to handle more snakes, my wish list would include:
Ghost-stripe
Butter/Carmel stripe
anery-stripe
normal-stripe
snow-stripe

Because I am so worried about Diamond I have decided to pawn some of my things and hope to make enough to pay for the vet visit. |
