Talking My first snake!

Made the trip to the expo yesterday to pick up my first snake. I was set on getting a Motley Anery Corn and once I saw this little guy I was in love! Here are a few pics from his first day home!!

He's finally got a name: Frank the Tank.
Still nameless, but I'm sure he'll earn a name soon enough, he's really curious!

Lovely Markings, perfect first snake. I went for the Milk snake for my first snake, had him a month now (he is now 5 months old) How old is 'nameless'?

Thanks for the comments everyone! He ate his first meal yesterday and inhaled it faster than I thought possible. Within a minute of putting the pinkie in the cage it was gone! He's still nameless, but I'm sure something will come up soon!

Awesome looking cornsnake. Aneries are by far some of my favorite corns. Yours is beautiful. Naming them is always the hardest parts. After getting a few, you'll notice that you slack off on the naming at the end. My new boa and leo are Cooters and Snugglyhug. Good luck with him!

If hes eating it very fast it might be too small for him. Watch for the bulge in his stomach. if it dissapears in less than a day its too small

yeah, at first I planned on just having the corn snake (now named Frank, as in "Frank the Tank"), but now I'm looking into care info for ball pythons, so I'm starting to see how everyone ends up with so many animals!
