This is the newest addition to my animal family

I got her on November 13th (yup, it was a friday. Originally meant to get her the day before but that was the unluckiest day ever!)
I waited a long time for her! Many thanks always to her breeder who was so patient with me! I reserved her in July and it was a long wait with various things happening before I could get down to collect her! In the end though it was worth it and she is everything I could have hoped for! Gave me plenty of time to pick out a name. I chose Tienan (pronounced ty-nan) because it is unisex and means "dark" in Gaelic.
I have waited a very long time to get a snake. I have always wanted a corn snake and of course had to do research, annoy many people with various questions before I finally took the plunge!
She is so sweet. She is still a bit skittish when being picked up (not that I blame her, I would be too if I had a giant hand looming towards me!) but once she is out she is lovely and calm. When I first got her she scared the pants off of me when I put my hand in to change her water and heard this loud rattling noise. Boy can she hiss for a little snake!

After overcoming that (I admit that it did make me nervous for a time!) we have been doing very well so far! She is a brilliant feeder. Even taking her pinkie when she was in shed.
Anyhoo, onto the pictures (I warn you in advance I have rather a lot, she is so photogenic!)

That's all folks, I hope you enjoyed them
