Wow gorgeous. Yes, snakes are VERY addicting. I would have many of them if I had the time money and space. But then if I had that I would have a lot of things.... The red one is very pretty - it looks a lot like my roommate's corn. I have never seen a head pattern like that on a corn though, Pretty much all of them seem to have that little heart/scissors mark on their head like your brown one does. Both are fantastic looking though.

Thanks! Well, my serpent collection exploded. LOL I started off with the two that I listed above, but then someone started talking about bringing in another breeders stock of snakes, & he was finding homes for all of the corns, since he focuses on pythons. He said he only wanted wholesale price for them. I told him I would take "a couple". Before I made arrangements to see them, I found a beautiful female 09 baby, that was listed on sale, that I ordered, & then the next day ended up making arrangements to go see the corns that needed homes. I then decided on two babies, & decided to go ahead & get two older females. One is a Sunkissed Okeetee, the other is a Miami Phase. As I'm holding various snakes, he then tells me he's letting them go for dirt cheap, regardless of age or color, & that he *really* needs to clear them out, because he doesn't have the room for them longterm....so, I ended up with three more babies. The babies were born last weekend, & they all had their first shed yesterday. I'm still new at figuring out colors, but I'm told the babies colors are: 1 normal, 1 hypo or ultramel, 1 ghost or snow, & 2 aneries. I likely won't keep both aneries longterm, because I already have one, but I'll wait to see how they turn out. So, I went from 2 corns, to 9! Good thing they are easy to take care of, & don't eat much. LOL

Very cute! I remember when my Herman was that small! (He is also a corn snake.) If I had the space to have more snakes, admittedly I would. But Herman is my buddy and we've been together 15 years now. I don't think I'm ready to get another, although I dream of a ball python.

Snakes are....VERY....ADDICTING. You think ferret math is bad, wait till you get bit by the snake bug. Three years ago I only had around 3 snakes. I now have 13 with 8 on the way.
Your corns are gorgeous! I love their colors. If I'm not mistaken, the darker one is an anery, though which type (A or B) I'm not sure. The red one seems to be a normal, but I can't quite tell. Normals vary A LOT!.

Fuzzymom...yes, snakes are more addicting than ferrets! Julie, the breeder I got most of my ferrets from is the reason I now have snakes...of course it wasn't until after I got snakes that she warned me. LOL
Thank you! Toruk is Normal/Classic het Bloodred, & the other one is an Anery A (Charcoals have the darker eyes).
I've added Miami & Alabama morphs to my collection. I'm going to start breeding next year. (Aside from the surprise clutch I got from an Ultramel female I got for wholesale price).
