Hoping to get a nice clutch from this girl. She is at 350 grams now and a virgin....
Sputnik 12-12-2008, 04:03 PM Nice man, good luck... she looks a good size! :yessir:
Varanus99 12-12-2008, 07:14 PM Now thats a hell of a project. Pure corn snakes. I love it. Not het for anything. Wow!
The female especially is a real looker. Beautiful colors. Ive always liked just plain ol normal corn snakes. Or maybe oketees which are just a locality, correct?
The male looks like he may be in shed?
Good luck with those two.
norsmis 12-12-2008, 07:18 PM Thanks V. Yeah the okees started out as a locality thing but it turned into a kind of morph. Dark saddles, bright red and orange saddles....
The male was in shed in that pic but honestly, he isnt all that great. The female is definitely the looker in that pairing... kind of like my wife and I...
Varanus99 12-12-2008, 07:22 PM A true gentleman.
Im interested to see what those babies look like. Its exciting just to see some normal freakin' corn snakes once in a while! They were the first snake I ever bred Ill always have a soft spot for them.
norsmis 12-12-2008, 07:27 PM Why thank you kind Sir.
I will be sure to post pics of the babies. I plan on keeping a few back for myself. There has been a lot of interest in them because they have no hets.... people looking for a clean slate.

Thanks Justin! A buddy of mine goes there every year with a retired Army buddy. He gave me this pair 3 years ago and I have been impatiently waiting for the female to get up to breeding size. I am stoked about this pair more than anything else this year!
FloridaHogs 12-12-2008, 08:35 PM Ooooo, I like that male!! He looks just like a female I rescued last year....very metallic! Now I have to go start another thread to show her off!

147BOAS 12-18-2008, 12:54 AM very nice :yessir:
Nice looking cornsnakes. Good luck this year with them. Hope they make you lots of lil cornsnakes.
Buckskin 12-18-2008, 10:47 AM The male was in shed in that pic but honestly, he isnt all that great. The female is definitely the looker in that pairing... kind of like my wife and I...
I agree you do look better after you shed. LOL But seriously if they prove to not be het for anything. What would you call them? ( proven Het free )

:lmao:
Sorry brother I just couldnt help it!!
Hey if something weird pops out can I buy it?
Seriously I might like a pair of those things. I havent seen a non-mutated corn in many moons. Especially if they look like that female. Ha cha cha.
norsmis 12-18-2008, 06:47 PM I have you on the list Bro! All Bush Leaguers have priority on ANY animal I sell!!!!!!!!!! :rockon:
Varanus99 12-18-2008, 06:51 PM I have you on the list Bro! All Bush Leaguers have priority on ANY animal I sell!!!!!!!!!! :rockon:
Very good. I should be off Double Secret Snake Probabtion by then.
She wants an LA/Pied! Wait..lemme go run refinance the house!
Im the same way. I only produced 5 ackies this year :( and they are all going to Bush-Leaguers. Diehard? I die harder than Bruce Willis.
norsmis 12-18-2008, 06:53 PM Very good. I should be off Double Secret Snake Probabtion by then.

:lol: Uh oh... get her hooked on ball pythons and you will be in some SERIOUS debt Bro!!!!!! :cheers:

No way no way. If I do get some balls...you know I wonder if they would be as popular if hey were called scrotum pythons. Probably not. But anyway, if I do get some balls Im strating nice and easy. Gonna try to be a nice bee project together with some pastels, maybe super pastels, spiders, someone suggested a lesser...I dunno. I was just gonna get a spider and a pastel now Im all goofy.
Varanette 12-18-2008, 07:01 PM No way no way. If I do get some balls...you know I wonder if they would be as popular if hey were called scrotum pythons. Probably not. But anyway, if I do get some balls I'm starting nice and easy. Gonna try to be a nice bee project together with some pastels, maybe super pastels, spiders, someone suggested a lesser...I dunno.

OMG! Shame on you......I am sooo LOW MAINTINACE! LOL! I only like the LApied b/c they are really nice with coloring...Iw on't DIE if I don't get one...lol...silly men.
I have others that I really like V and I were really talking about Bee's and I think that is sooo up our alley for my FIRST SNAKE ANYTHING...AHHH...If it bites me he's sooo in for it.I think that I would like a pure white ball....are those expensive too?
Very funny about the SCROTUM PYTHONS...aren't you just hysterical:P BRAT!

Yeah the pure white balls are a little pricey. Im not much of a fan of white snakes. Not the band and not the python.
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 09:52 PM I would advertise the offspring as locality animals. They would be F1 locality right? I have three locality animals, and that is what I plan on doing with mine if they ever breed for me!
Varanus99 12-18-2008, 09:57 PM I would advertise them as follows:
"Corn snakes for sale.
Yeah, thats right corn snakes. Remember them? Kinda look like ears of corn? No, not het for anything. No, not anything. Not even that. Yes, they have scales. Not scaleless. I said corn snakes. Red ratsnakes. If you breed them you will get MORE CORN SNAKES! What? No, 1 in 16 will not be anything except a corn snake! Oh for Christ sake forget it
Thanks for looking! PM me any questions!"
JChandler 12-18-2008, 09:57 PM Yeah the pure white balls are a little pricey. Im not much of a fan of white snakes. Not the band and not the python.
Blasphemy I say, the band did suck but the snakes are awesome....:lol:
Varanus99 12-18-2008, 10:04 PM Blasphemy I say, the band did suck but the snakes are awesome....:lol:
They are cool looking I just wouldnt want one personally. I mean if I was going to spend that kind of coin Id rather have something else.
Im impressed by how freakin' white they are. But I know after a while Id be thinking "Well, there is my white snake. He sure is white. Yawn"
:D

I know I am still on my very slow quest for either BEL's or pieds....but yeah I understand the other things, got a list a mile long these days with all the pics...even got these locale corns on that list...:lol:

I do like the pieds. Well, who doesnt? LOL!
I wouldnt mind a pair of 100%het for pieds since they seem to be very reasonable with a decent chance of producing a pied.
I dont think Id go full throttle for a visual pied at this stage of the game. But hets are a possibility.
What is a BEL please?
JChandler 12-18-2008, 10:23 PM Blue eyed lucy....white snake with them blue eyes....
I have 2 het pied males, and no females...hopefully some possible hets soon but I'm in it for the long haul so no rush....
norsmis 12-20-2008, 08:26 AM I would advertise the offspring as locality animals. They would be F1 locality right? I have three locality animals, and that is what I plan on doing with mine if they ever breed for me!
This is exactly how I plan on advertising them. Of course they will go up on the BLBC classifieds first!
Varanus99 12-22-2008, 08:40 PM Hey how are those two rare and precious jewels doin? Getting ready to put them down or are they already down?
norsmis 12-22-2008, 08:42 PM Just brought them up last week. Already had their first meal this weekend. Should be shedding soon and then its time to get it on!!!
Varanus99 12-22-2008, 08:46 PM Oh wow Im way off the mark. Its almost party time.
How do they look? Female come through it without much weight loss?
JChandler 12-22-2008, 08:54 PM Oh wow Im way off the mark. Its almost party time.

He cheats....he starts them early...lol
norsmis 12-22-2008, 09:00 PM Oh wow Im way off the mark. Its almost party time.

Hardly any at all. Maybe 5 or 10 grams at most. I only kept them down for 60 days this year.
He cheats....he starts them early...lol

Last year my female only dropped 4 grams... I was surprised
He cheats....he starts them early...lol
Yeah... real early... I havent even put mine down yet.... It will be Jan 1 before its cold enough and they will stay down till around 1st of march.
Varanus99 12-22-2008, 09:24 PM Will you write my ads for me
Sure. I use a very basic approach as you can clearly see. No smoke and mirrors.
