Aaah, they're so cute! You're making it really hard not to get a Sulcata baby with these cute pics, lol!

The corn is lovely, too! I'm not sure I'd call him a Miami, though--he looks like he's getting a LOT of orange in (Miamis are famed for their silver backgrounds; the best Miamis have no color in the background at all). Either way, it looks like he'll grow up to be a gorgeous Classic! :)

Sangamp, corn snakes are completely harmless... They're nonvenomous, very docile, and stay small--usually only 3-4 ft (occasionally, but rarely, up to 6 ft), and slender. :)

Yeah They are cute! i cant wait to have more land so i can have more!

Sangamp corn snakes arent dangerous lol, you should try to find a pet store near you that has one so you check it out.

As far as it being a miami, that what i was told so i really dont know, he is my first corn snake but im totally hooked now. torts and cornsnakes.

Which seeds were that you find? Turtles are eating that means good for them but have you analyzed or asked to the specialist that it is safe or not? I think it is necessary to confirm first.

Nice pics, And good for you growing your own food, I try to grow as much as I can for all mine.I like the Miami phase corn,To me it looks almost like they did 40 years ago before the breeders changed the colors.Back in the late 60s and early 70s every Easter people from all over the country used to go to the Okeetee Hunt Club to collect after the spring burn off,and I saw many corn snakes from that area and they didn't look anything like the okeetee corns of today,I have a pair of Abbotts but would love to have a pair of the original old style okeetees.... Note..found my first and only eastern diamondback there, beautiful animal with a lot of white. Len

the seeds come from sulcatafood.com so yeah they are made specially for torts!

I am growing the same grass from the same place! Glad to hear that it was a success for you. I am growing mine inside and plan to move it and plant it in the outside enclosure when it gets warm enough. Great job it must feel good to know that you grew that for them!!
