Name: Matt Kennedy
Location: Red Deer, Alberta
Age: 23
Family: I live with my fiance, Kylie. We'll be getting married in June of 2008.
Work: I'm currently in training to work as a correctional officer with the Correctional Service of Canada. I had spent the last three years doing the same job with the province of Alberta.
About Me: There's really nothing to say about me. When I'm not at work, I'm dealing with the corns, when I'm not with the corns, I'm sleeping. Life is pretty simple for me.
My Corn Snake Story: Ever since I was young (well, younger) I had always wanted a snake. My parents are terrified of snakes though, so I couldn't own one until I moved out. In May of 2004, I broke up with my then-girlfriend. She had always told me that if I got a snake, we could not date anymore. So, one day I broke up with her and the next day I ran out to buy a snake. Just to make a point...
So, my first corn was a female Anery A. I owned her for a year and then bought two more. And then two more. And two more. And things are growing exponentially since then.
We aren't huge breeders and we don't expect to produce mass numbers like many of Canada's big breeders. However, we keep about 16 breeders of various morphs and we produce enough hatchlings each year to keep us both busy, but not overwhelmed. I know how busy 40 hatchlings can keep us, I don't know how a person with 1200 can do it.
This year was our first year breeding and we produced about 40 hatchlings. Next year we expect somewhere around 120.
