Isn't she the cutest little cornsnake ever? Her name is Vanilla, and I got her on Thursday. While she's in her cage, she mostly just lounges around or burries herself under her bedding, but when I get her out she never stops moving! It was hard to get a good picture of her, and even this one is a little blurry.
She's about as thick as a pancil, and maybe close to a foot long, give or take (I haven't actually tried to measure her, since it'd be kind of difficult to get her to lay straight and still long enough). Eventually, she's going to get almost as long as I am tall.
I feed her pinkies, which are little newborn mouse babies. They come frozen, and I have to thaw them out before giving them to her. They're really nasty...but I have these nifty tongs so I never have to touch them, and I only have to feed her one every four days (which is good, because they're really expensive).
Dad isn't too thrilled...I don't think he realizes just how quickly she's going to grow. Oh well...I guess he'll find out eventually.
Well, that's all I've got. Just wanted to brag about my adroable little snake baby.
