pop 0 #6 November 25, 2005 I was just post whoring.... When I was younger I got bit by a copperhead. That son of a bitch kept me in pain for about a month. He got me on the finger...two hour later my whole arm was swolen like a baloon!7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morningdove831 0 #7 November 25, 2005 Is it an albino? Looks very familiar to an albino corn snake I had many years ago ... I love snakes! One who looks for a friend without faults will have none. -- Hasidic Saying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #8 November 25, 2005 Yes, Elaphe is an albino- she has no melanin, but she still has xanthin (yellow pigment) and erythrin (red pegment), so that is why she is a bright reddish-orange, instead of the reddish-brown in wild type corn snakes. Corn snakes have been bred to be certain colors in captivity since the 1950's. They're one of the most popular snakes because they are so docile (except to their prey) & easy to care for & handle.

RhondaLea 3 #9 November 26, 2005 QuoteThis is Elaphe, my corn snake: S/he is beautiful. I had a melanistic corn a long time ago--from the time it was a baby. It was a gorgeous snake. I also had a black rat (from the time it was 3-days hatched--I got it as a wedding present), an indigo that thought it was a belt and various assorted constrictors at different times, some of which were rehab patients. I love snakes. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morningdove831 0 #10 November 26, 2005 Yes, corn snakes are indeed docile (and the albinos are beautiful) and I always enjoyed having one as a pet. She was a great pet!

I'm a member (not active since Katrina) of the Louisiana Gulf Coast Herptelogical Society which, of course, specializes in the study and rescue of reptiles. Tegus are awesome!
