Emily the corn snake (Elaphe guttata guttata), also known as Emmy, was born October 2007 at Scales and Tails in Milton, VT. She is an anerythristic A, with a slight yellow coloring along either side of her neck.
Emily was named after a central character of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield, Mr. Peggotty's niece and David's childhood friend. In the book, Emily's character embodies tainted purity, a fallen angle, tempted and lured away by James Steerforth. After all the years of playing Satan, the snake finally gets the role of Eve.
