Well my partner finally found a corn that she likes....no, LOVES the corn....Motley Amel. Corn! And we hope to be getting one by the 20th of next month...we've read all the care sheets we can get our hands on.. and plan on getting the book "the corn snake manual" so any additional info that you don't think the book covers go ahead and tell us!

Honestly, that books rules. Its a cornsnake bible. Every you need to know is in there, and will be completly understood even better with some hands on experience for a few weeks with your new snake.

I can't wait till we send for it...gotta wait till that pay check shows up though

....but it will be a GREAT day when it gets here and she is able to open the box, take it out, and put it in it's new home!!!

Yup. Just set it up, leave it alone for a week, feed it, and then you are able to start holding it. thats when it becomes even more fun!!!

Corn snakes absolutely rule. RedDragon and I have 8 and absolutely no plans to stop there.

Be sure to post pics when you pick it up.

Well currently I have more then 300 for sale and some of them are amel motleys....
the only thing is that they haven't eaten yet. I am thinking of giving a 50% discount for all those who haven't eaten yet...what do you think?

lordkovacs · 08-25-03, 12:47 PM

i agree... almost every normal occurance is in the manual. anything on top of that happens infrequetnly enough that posting here is probably hte only way you're gonna get answers. Really, you shouldn't need to know much more than the manual.
Good luck!

The Corn Snake Manual was written by the GODS of corn snakes Bill & Cathy Love! It's awasome

TheRedDragon · 08-25-03, 01:48 PM

Wow, this books sure sounds great, maybe I should pick it up!

sapphire_moon · 08-25-03, 07:03 PM

No, I want a snake thats already feeding, and plan on getting it from South Mountain Reptiles......No digi cam....

... but my local mal-wart *lol* has a 1 hr photo that can put pics on CD for me. I plan on posting some of my BP's whenever I can find the camaras (sp?) I will be sure to post some of Me and my partners new baby corn.....My partner is so excited that she finally found a snake that she likes, and so am I...up till now she has been content with letting me hold the snakes, and feeding them. But she does atleat help with the dirty work!!!! lol......

i love that book i got it a year ago and it had every thing in it

Chris_Flowers · 08-26-03, 12:23 AM

I can also recommend the Corn Snake Manual. Just make sure its the one by Bill and Kathy Love as I've seen a couple of others with the same/similar title.

I'd also recommend '277 Secrets Your Snake Wants You To Know'. I found it a fascinating read which answers many questions you may have that aren't generally speciffic to the care of the snake, more useful and useless information! Very entertaining read.

Cheers
Chris.

hmmm......I may not find that here. I'm in the states (one of the worst ones) and they ban absolutely everything in this one......I'm surprised they haven't banned breathing....walking, talking......etc...etc...

but seriously do you think I could find it at a book store?

marisa · 08-27-03, 12:22 AM

It's simple to order these books online. Kathy Loves book is available from her website as well.
