A New Snake, Yet Again.

This weekend I decided to go to my usual pet store. I took with me Augustus, my ball python baby. I decided to trade him in for a baby butter motley corn snake. There was a little girl there that really liked Augustus, and when she held him...she slung him around and basically broke the little guy. SNAKES DO BITE! Luckily he held back his temper and didn't bite her. Her dad loved how cute she looked, so he bought him for her. I am NOT very happy about it. I did get my corn, though.


....this story continued...

Last night my baby corn died. He was doing fine in his terrarium, he was moving around being a snake. I picked him up, and he wrapped around my hand. Suddenly his head went limp. He would pick it up occasionally, but it would go limp like before. I took him into the living room to ask Dale if the snake looked normal. It was then that the snake went completely limp and didn't move except for the occasional twitch or gasp. We called the people that owned the place where we got him from, and they said some of the babies they had their were doing the same thing. Luckily the guy told us the corn would be replaced, but it's still really depressing.
