We decided to drop in at a "newish" local reptile shop yesterday to see what stock they had.

We spotted a lovely 3 year old female Anery B Corn snake in with a classic phase male. Now I wasn't actually planning on buying anything but I saw pound signs.

It's coming up to breeding season and all my snakes are shagging away. Seeing as this one was well into breeding age, in good condition and already shacked up with a male we decided we had to have it.

Paid ?70 :eek: which was quite a bit but if she only lays 5 eggs this season she'll have paid for herself. If she wasn't already gravid from the male in the tank with her then she certainly is now... she's been with us for less than 24hours and has already been caught in the act with twice with different males.

I'll get some pics later.

That now brings the total up to 13 of various different size and age.

They're all bloody rampant.

The males "persue" the females round and round the tank knocking over plants and hides until she's knackered... then she give in, he lifts her tail up and thats it.

The rest for a while then it all starts over again. lol

I really can't have anymore. lol
I may have to thin out as I have too many males still.

I've also looked at all the local pet shops and identified that no one seems to breed a particular colour... hence buying the latest addition.

I'll be gurranteed at least 2 adults breeding variations of that colour.

The bigger the better.. because then you can just put them on the sofa and not worry about them crawling off behind the skirting boards.

I may have a massive adult male for sale soon called Trojan.
He used to be overweight but I've put him on a diet and he's really slimmed down now. Not sure how hold he is but he's a big boy.... biggest corn I've seen.

Will also have plenty of babies as I now have 3 breeding pairs :D
