Baby cornsnake


Two weeks ago I bought a baby albino cornsnake from a breeder in Long Island and instantly fell in love with them. The first day I got them they were due for feeding (since they are fed every week), and I went to the local pet store in my neighborhood for pinkeys (baby mice). I remember the first day I handled them they were small week and fragile. They ate their first meal and I was amazed at the beauty of nature. My snake ate the baby mouse whole face first swallowing it at once. I started handling the snake more and it quickly grew stronger and bigger being able climb and lift its own body. I started throwing it in a bucket of water and it started swimming and grew smarter. Now my snake is a bit bigger but much stronger, smarter, and agile.

Today when I get home I see my snake turning pale and its time for shedding for him. This is my first time with snakes and was amazed how quickly it could change color because of its molting. These animals truly are extravagant and amazing.
