Introducing Crystal, a corn snake, hatched on 18/6/07.  She is gorgeous, soft and silky.  The hamsters are in another room to stop her becoming agitated at the scent.

She's beautiful - what fantastic markings  :) :) :)

I like the markings and the 'size'  ;D

Anything bigger than 2ft and I reserve the right to use my 'Superman' capabilities and fly upwards into the sky  ;D

[Mrs Ava]

She could reach 4 foot if she is well looked after and lives a long and happy life.  ;D

Not too fond of snakes EJ, but she is just beautiful.

Beautiful colouring.

[Mrs Ava]

She is so gorgeous.  ;D  I do adore reptiles but I am not keen on seeing huge lizards being kept in small places.  With us she will have a luxury home with the space, and exercise, she needs.  She came out for her exercise this evening and she is so quick - the joys of youth.  Daughter number one is smitten with her, son loves to look, but isn't so keen to handle.

[Emm P]

I hate to see any creature permanently confined.

[Emagggie]

How often will she shed her skin EJ?

[Mrs Ava]

She should shed about once a month. So next week.  Her eyes will blue up, that will be the first sign.
