My Corns

[Cobra]

Inspired by @Dale.'s images of his corns, it gave me a chance to check out the camera on my new phone.
First impressions are good.

The Male



The female



And the female coming out from her usual hiding place, cork bark log.
It was feeding time

Lovely snakes

Hmmmm now there is an idea to check out the macro function on the camera

Lovely snakes

Cheers Gav

Nice Chris, lovely snakes. One of ours is the same colour as your female.

Me too

Should you try it, I'd be interested in the picture of how you execute this, assuming you are both photographer and subject

The female has lovely markings. Are they different ages, or is the male usually that much bigger?

I've no idea of the ages TBH Bee, I bought them nearly 2 years ago, as adults, and they have grown since.
Male corn snakes do tend to be bigger, and have longer slender tails.
Its a bit of an illusion, their heads are almost the same size, but the males is slightly bigger.

I've just discovered that I am not a contortionist sorry

Cable release and a USB/HDMI connection to a screen?

ON topic comments now!

Nice looking pair of snakes. Is the female usually that much brighter than the male or is she just more recently moulted? Was it this pair that bred relatively recently?

 

[Cobra]

Nice looking pair of snakes.

Thanks Nod.

Is the female usually that much brighter than the male or is she just more recently moulted?

They come in a few different colours, the female is the classic corn snake colour, the male is more "rat snake" colour TBH.

Was it this pair that bred relatively recently?

Its about 20 months, doesn't time fly?

The 2 surviving off spring, one is like mum, the other has similar patterns, but black and grey.

There was a lot of courtship behaviour April this year, but no results.

 

[Nod]

20 months!!! Must be getting old!

Didn't realise there was so much diversity between individuals = good job all humans look the same...

 

[JDP]

Stunning Snakes!

 

[Cobra]

Stunning Snakes!
