Two female corns

Two female corns

This is my very first snake, shes 15 now(not sure if thats impressive or not?), and just over 2m. Not sure of her background, but when I did breed her I always ended up with something interesting ,a few striped corns amongst other colour variations.

2 meters? Have you measured her or is that your guess? While she does look big in the picture I have never heard of a corn reaching 2m +. The normal that my gf has is just under 1.5m and we always though he was quite big

Both snakes pretty by the way

And 15 years is quite good, the expected life on them is between 15 and 25 according to the caresheets so I'm hoping yours still has a few golden years left

Hey Unforgiven, last time we measured her we had her at about 2.08m. She eats like a monster, 4 mice no worries. I know thats large for a corn, I thought maybe her age had something to do with it.

That normal is a stunner, one of the better examples I've seen.

I would call that a buckskin Okeetee. Very pretty indeed. Try to find a similar coloured one to pair it up with.

2m and on mice O_o

I must admit that is something interesting. Just out of interests sake, why do you feed her mice?

I'm not a fan of the colour, but the pattern is definitely stunning

Westley: her breeding days are done unfortunately, the last time I bred her she lost a scary amount of weight and took ages to recover.

Unforgiven: Lol yes mice, although my flatmate is trying to convince me to start feeding her rats or multis. I dont know why actually, just always had her on mice. Rats tend to fight back a bit more haha.

Just a general question, I noticed the other day shes developed to bumps on her spine, any suggestions as to what they may be?
