“......she thinks it’s a “corn snake.”

“.....So why wasn’t it in a sack of corn?

Exactly.. completely harmless if non-poisonous... best to let it go back into the wild.

The corn had been shipped to an ethanol plant, so the snake had to settle for the next best thing.

Leucistic corn snake - IIRC, that’s an expensive snake, and not too common in the wild.

No, he was in her titmouse bag.

Check the Bear Grylls cookbook for “Corn Snake Stew.”

Damn!

Some people have all the luck!

The only ‘extra’ I’ve ever brought home was fruit flies.

A baby albino corn is about $20-25 at a snake show or $40 at PetCo but still....:-\

We have apparently had a hatching on my property as we saw a newly hatched Corn slithering around on Halla’s grave the other night.

Little thing was barely the size of a good night crawler.

I thought about bringing it in but I don’t really want to keep hibernating snake species.

Hopefully it [and if I’m really lucky, hordes of its siblings] will grow fast and gobble down the local mice and roof rats.

If I were her I wouldn’t be whining...I’d be in the fruit aisle hoping some nice BCIs had hitchhiked here from South America...:)
