Hi all! I'm fairly new to the herp world. I have 1 Amel corn, believed to be female. She is somewhere around 15 inches long. A real sweetie. I got her from people who are going around taking free or really cheap animals and reselling them for more. I did not know that was what they were doing until I traded a ferret for this "rare hard to find" corn. Can ya tell I did not know any better about colors? I have since seen they (Amels) average $45. They got a $150 3 month old ferret, a $45 cage, a $75 ex-pen, 2 hammocks worth about $35, food and toys. Somewhere around $250-300 worth all together.

Anyway, ya live ya learn right? I am hoping I will not find myself getting ripped off like that here. Believe me I have people I can go to now to check if I am being asked too much for a snake or if I found a great deal. :reddevil:

Nah, I was told that everyone over here are good peoples. So I am not worried.

I look forward to meeting everybody!
 
Welcome - sorry you got burnt before checking the ads here or checking the BOI. Hard lesson learned, but you sound like you learn fast!
 
Thanks everyone. Yeah I learn really fast. So fast that I just received ownership of an abused Sand Boa. Free. He/she (gender unknown) was supposedly stolen from a petshop, and was being fed crickets in a VERY cold tank full of rocks and debri with very little sand. I've got a heating pad under his tank (its all I have right now) and am slowly clearing out the junk from his sand. I read that he should be eating mice. If anyone has a fave site about sand boas I really want to know what I am doing to save him.
 
Well, I was going to suggest you check out the 'rosy, sand...' boa discussion forum, but there doesn't seem to be a lot going on over there.
I would suggest considering a possible vet trip.
A google search should turn up something.
