This little fellow has more attitude than a pit bull on steroids!
This came in to my local shop in quite a sorry sate (as many WC snakes of this nature do) so i thought i would try and get him back to a good state of health.
He has just shed and i will try and feed him in a few days, he really is a fantastic looking animal!

Cheers!
He looked awful when i first took him home, lots of stuck shed, silver eye caps, loose skin. Its amazing what a good dose of heat, humidity and a good shed can do

That snake is a stunner!!!!!!!
My two CB babies have just remembered that they are Mangroves and not Corn snakes!!!!!!!
Last night the larger of the pair (possibly the female) was offered a rat pup for the first time.............OOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!!!
Talk about a change in attitude........went nuts....biting the shoot out of the pup, me, a twig and then devoured the rat pup like it had never see food before....
first time she has eaten without assist....
Mangroves are a love or hat kinda snake>
