Is it hard to find adult corns for sale?
I'm wanting to get an adult corn snake as my 2nd snake (1st is a Ball Python) as sort of something to contrast the ball. I love my ball python, but I'd like to have another snake with a little more movement as well. I'm really wanting to get an adult or something that is big enough to really handle. I know baby corns are easily accessible, but are adults easy to find too? Also, anyone know of any breeders in Oklahoma? I was thinking I may be able to give a good home to a retired breeder snake. Gonna keep an eye out at the next show, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

They're easy enough to find...

As much as everyone on here seems to despise craigslist it usually is a decent place to find older/non baby snakes. People get them for there kids at pet stores, expos, etc and after a few months or a year the kid loses interest and the parents end up getting rid of them. I see them quit often in my area. Troll CL and see what you find. However you may want someone with a good bit of knowledge to go with you to heatlh check the animal. There's a few more not so honest people outside of this community. Good luck.

I second going to an expo. The NARBC is going to be in Dallas in February and I know there's an Oklahoma reptile expo (I just can't think of the name off the top of my head). I usually see several adults at shows. You can always find breeders and just ask if they have adults for sale. Sometimes they might surprise you.

I guess it really depends. I have a yearling female I've got for sale. I'm selling her for cheap just on craigslist. No hits yet (well...hits that don't follow through). I've not found a huge market for corns, unfortunately.
