[Sharlynn93]

He told me it's only ever eaten live for him (But never said if he tried f/t...) I've never fed with tongs before (Because my ball is such a good eater) but I'll pick up a pair to entice him into eating :)

BTW, my corn was a CL rescue. He was under fed but one cool laid back fellow now!

Well, Looking up candy cane corns I found this. Interesting Idea to lighten the cost of feeding.

Some people just don't get it... My sister hates snakes (But they keep her out of my room!) My list is as follows
BCI (Getting one mid next year)
Mojave ball
Kenyan sand boa

[Sharlynn93]

i would live a milk snake of some variety...maybe a sand boa, too...i love the bigger snakes, but i would rather have many smaller ones than a couple huge ones :)

Lol, errr.... I don't remember? It doesn't show that i now have a 1.0 white cockatoo either...

Funny stuff!!!!

I think it has too much patterning for a candy cane, they have much more white on them.

What's your guess then?

Take it home for closer inspection!!:D

[kwhitlock]

I'm guessing a candy cane too!

[Mikoh4792]

I'd ask him to take a pic with the snake stretched out. 55 gallon tanks are 48 inches long and that snake doesn't look anywhere near 48 inches long... unless it's a noodle(which would make sense if it hasn't been fed often)

[Hotchkiss]

I'll probably end up getting it early-mid next week (mon-tue)

I'll email him now

[Mikoh4792]

Honestly craigslist ads like that are a bit sketchy. I'd rather buy from an actual breeder or known seller(good reviews) and feel confident of getting a quality snake( one that is healthy and cared for).

Might cost you several more dollars but it will be worth it.

Plus with breeders you can ask them all the questions you want to know about the snake you are adding to your collection.

This is a candycane, note the almost pure white with defined circle pattern

My first thought was either candy cane or a creamsicle, which is a hybrid. Candy cane is a line bred form of Amel and are typically red and white with the best of them having no yellow, but there is a orange line of them as well.
