Bragging rights of a new parent again

After getting "Ruby", our amel motley corn at the October show in St. Jacob's, found out I've been afflicted with the notorious and incurable 'snake bug'. I just HAD to get another snake!!!! This time around it was "Lo'ihi" - a Volcano Corn Snake.

Lo'ihi is a volcano off the island of Hawaii, still hasn't grown above the ocean surface, so it's relatively small right now. In the Hawai'ian language, "lo'ihi" means long. I figure it's a pretty good name for a baby girl corn snake.

What a pretty girl! and a pretty name too! Looks like she's about to take a bite out of you there ;)

What does a volcano corn imply?

Nice looking though!

I'm surprised you didn't get 2 snakes yesterday.

I probably would have, if I hadn't seen this fantastic adult male crested gecko first. I'd been looking for one just like him for about 5 months, to team up with one of my grown up 'keepers'. It was a tough decision, but one snake and one gecko isn't all that bad a booty for one show. :)

I've never seen such a cool head pattern on a corn before. You just have to keep posting pics as your little girl sheds and grows so I can continue to enjoy it.
