Name: Caroline Piquette
Location: Ste-Foy area of Quebec city, Qc.
Family: I live and work with my boyfriend, Louis since 1995 so, since we are together 24h/24, we often joke and say we are together since 30 years now LOL. We have two kids: Marie-Pier (8 years old daughter) and Élie (2 years old son).
Work: We own a print shop, specialized in high quality printing and Giclee prints.
About Me: Nothing much to say here. Between the business, Louis, the kids and the snakes, I don't have much time left to do anything else. But I love reading good espionnage, action and Stephen King's book. I am trying to improve my English since my first language is French but I still need a lot of practice in speaking it.
My Corn Snake Story: Hmmm. I always loved animals. But when I was a kid, we could only have a bird, a cat or a dog. Later on, about 12 years ago, I bought my first snake. It was a corn. Back then I didn't know really all I know now and internet was not what it is now. So some time after I bought a king and put the 2 in the same aquarium.
The king never ate the corn but I remember one time having to cut a mouse that both had decide to eat at he same time. A bit after that I had to sell them because I went away and I could not keep them. I was really sad.
Then, about 2 years ago, I managed to make some trade with Kathy Love (printing product for snakes) and the passion for corns really hit me at this time. Since then, the collection grew up quite a bit. I have about 100 snakes (holdbacks, yearlings and adults) plus still several hatchlings. This year was my first breeding year and I produced about 150 babies. Next year I should have about 500 babies with a lot of stripes one.
Not so long ago I felt in love with stripes corns and I decided to concentrate on them. Next year, if Murphy look away and I get lucky for some of these, I could produce in stripe version: amber, butter, lavender, blood, granite, fire, amel, anery, hypo, snow.
Unfortunately, since I live far from the shows and with the kids, I can't attend to a lot of shows. But I should be in both Kemptville shows this year.
