My Snake, Rusty, is a California Corn Snake. He like to eat baby rats.

His favorite things are Sleeping, Eating and trying to escape his viv.

That might explain why he ate his mate?

I do love corn snakes. I've had several. 5 feet sounds long for a corn snake. Do they grow bigger in California, are the rats bigger than most, or do you think eating his mate made him longer? Have you had Rusty since he was a babe?

You should take a picture of him with a sign that says, "Snakes on Serenity." It would be funny to add to the Big Damn Thank You site.

Reptiles don't stop growing. The only thing that controls thier size is the amount of food they get and their environment. A small box make for a small snake, but you can not expect certain breeds to get longer than a certain length before they die.

Thanks, I did know that. Mine were small because they were in glass aquariums. It's just that I thought most corn snakes can get up to 3 to 4 feet long. 5 feet long just sounded large to me. I was just joking about the California corn snake: like does the California sun grow them longer?

Sounds like you enjoy reptiles as well as scorpions. I've also had an iguana. How about you? Have any pets?

my friend used to have a tiny little green snake, used to love curling around my wrist and falling asleep (warmth from the pulse point?) but i freaked someone out one day when they complimented my bracelet and i offered to let them wear it.

Never seen missionaries move so fast.

(the friend was mormon and they always had pressgangers from the States visiting)

I've done that, too. Sometimes you just forget that they're there. You find out quickly who is afraid of snakes as soon as they notice them around your wrist.

I haven't measured him recently, last couple of times he shed I just threw it, but he's certainly on his way.

He's getting fat too, fatty fatty corn Snake.

I haven't had him from hatchling, but he's doubled in size in the year I've had him. Ideally I'd get him a new vivarian. He has this log he used to curl up and sleep in, now he can barely fit in one twice the size. Though he gets upset if I take the old one away (happy childhood (hatchlinghood?) memories?)

He'll eat some pretty big creatures if he's being greedy...
