Hi;
One of my stepsons talked me out of one of my baby Ball Pythons as his birthday present.
I've been thinking about getting a corn snake; but I don't to much about them.
So I was wondering if I could get some feed back!?
I think I have enough Ball Pythons
And I'm going to get another Red tail boa
So I was thinking of getting something I don't have-a corn!

Thanks for ANY feed back!!

Try this,

They are in my opinion the easiest snakes to care for

i love my corn snakes. they're wonderful and one of the reasons I love corns in general is because of all the beautiful colors they come in, also they have great temperments. you should definitely get one! and I definitely agree that they are very easy to care for. they don't need alot of humidity like some other snakes do.

Absolutely! Corns are fantastic, wonderful, and fascinating snakes! They're all beautiful, and they're so nice to handle. They're great at eating frozen/thawed food too...ours was eating live at the pet store, but he switched right over after we got him with no fuss at all. You couldn't ask for a nicer snake! I can't wait to get more...*shhh* don't tell my husband....he doesn't know yet.

yes, a cornsnake definately, I have 5 corns at the moment, and hope to add to my collection, I have a BP too and two kingsnakes, and a garter, nearly forgot him bless, but I love my corns so much, i am hoping to breed them in 2006, they should be big enough then, go for a corn, they are the easiest to care for,

Corns are great snakes! However dealing with them is radically different than the pythons or boas. In a word they are hyper! If you lay them down like you do the Ball they will be gone! They also require more attention as they defecate much more often. The upside is they do not require tropical temps and they are great when it comes to full sheds!

They sure are! They aren't still even when you're holding them....you have to just let them slide through your hands, staying one step ahead of them all the time. They're a lot of fun to hold. I would like to experience the other end of the spectrum though too, and get a snake that likes to just hang on and chill out when I'm holding it. Would a ball python be laid back enough to do that?
