#corn snake

Made a little trip to get some hides for his quarantine enclosure (he had hides before, but cardboard boxes, you know?) and so he was handled a bit while I cleaned out the cage and made it all pretty. As a reward he tried to bite me, like, six times, and you’re coming perilously close to being named Mister Bitey, sir

And he shed too. Ain’t spring grand?

I saw this animal posted for sale locally. Sibling to my orchid motley (Aerides), I didn’t want him to vanish into the ether of shuffling homes, so I took him in. He’s skinny and pretty snippy (he MUSKED me - I don’t know how long it’s been since an animal freakin’ musked me, generally they either bite the shit out of me or just chill), but he’s safely in quarantine now. I’ve named him Austri.

My handsome orange man! I love you Malibu!

Some people find kittens or puppies on the side of the road - I just so happened to find a released corn snake!

Corn snakes are not native to my area, so this snake was most certainly let go or lost. That said, I’ve posted to lost pet forums and asked around the neighborhood he was found in looking for the owners in case he had escaped his home, but to no luck. Unless his owner is found, I plan to take good care of him from here on out :)

So to my followers, meet Cornelius! He’s healthy, eats well, is very handleable, and really likes to watch TV.

Mayonnaise surprised me with this lovely little clutch! I thought she was still a few weeks out but she apparently elected to skip a pre-lay shed. Well done, May!
