I've been toying with the idea of getting a corn snake, eventually. I am, however, *completely* put off by the tiny size of hatchlings. I think I found a place that I can adopt a larger adult and am considering going this route (I'd rather get bitten and have it hurt than try to handle something tiny, fragile, and fast - I'd also prefer something that if it goes on a feeding strike for some reason can handle it).
