Thinking of getting a corn snake

I have decided to take a break from ball pythons for a while. I am interested in getting a corn snake in a few months. While I know they are fairly hardy snakes can they be more forgiving when it comes to husbandry? I am doing my research before even getting one. I have read that they make great first pets as far as snakes go. I have seen some really cool combos too. I really like the look of the albinos and such. Are the different combos more expensive? I have read the care sheet on here but I want to learn a lot more about these interesting snakes.

They are more forgiving with husbandry. You can almost keep them at room temperature if your place is warm enough.

I haven't seen a corn snake for more than $150, but that was an adult. Most corns are under $100 including different morphs. I got a black motley from BHB at the White Plains show in February for $25. There is a new morph out called the Palmetto; it ranges from $2,000-$10,000. There are a few corn experts on here, hopefully they chime in as my knowledge is limited.

Good choice :) I love corn snakes. Generally the morphs will be more than a normal but generally are not over $100.

I don't know if you have seen it yet, but this is an awesome site to drool over corn snake morphs

I have 2 corn snakes and they are really easy to take care of and easy going when they are out. They don't just sit still like a BP will, but they tend to be more active and interested in their surroundings.

I have an adult snow and a SMR Extreme Okeetee baby. I'm considering a Sunkissed Anery Motely and a Tessera. There are just so many awesome snakes out there.

Corn snakes make great pet snakes. The morphs are not too expensive, except for the more recent ones like Tessera and Palmetto. You can easily get single, double, and triple gene morphs for less than $100. As for husbandry, they are VERY forgiving. One of my corns right now is not heated. The room temperature is around 75 and there has been no change in his feeding response, growth, or health. My other corn is heated, for now, but I plan on keeping my corns at room temperature when I get more and begin breeding them. They are typically eating machines. I have had my snow corn for almost 8 years now and she has only ever missed two meals (once while she was shedding, though normally she eats during a shed, and once when she had a jaw injury). I swear, she'd eat a hotdog if I offered her one. They are also a lot more active than ball pythons. Mine like to move around and explore while you handle them.

While I mostly keep ball pythons, I plan on getting more corns in the future. I want a charcoal so I can make Blizzards and I want to get into Tessera morphs as well.

Corns are different for sure. Husbandry is very simple. After getting used to Ball Pythons my corns seem like insane animals. I have a Phantom Male, a Snow Tessera (believed to be but not proven), Tessera, Charcoal female and Anery female. They are all way more hands on then my ball pythons with the exception of Walter Solcheck depending on his mood. When I open the 41qt tub where I keep them individually, the adults will be right there ready to make an escape no matter what side I open and they do watch me to check. They appear to be much longer since they are skinny. It's a much different experience to handle them. I would describe my experiences as trying to hold onto a long and skinny snake that wants nothing more then to run away from you. I have no clue why they don't cost more as it seems to me to be much more complicated making breeding projects. Lots of recessive, a lot! Where you could have a ton of diversity using only 4 ball pythons you could maybe plan 1 morph with corns so breeding plan require much more thought from what I've encountered. I can sit down and write out a nice breeding plan for 3 years down the road for a ball python where as I would get no where in that same amount of time with corns as there are so many options yet not so many routes to get there. I love the Tesseras and want to get some black and white ones as well as some orange and red sunset looking ones. I am also hoping to do some bright colors like the more basic line bred Okeetee and maybe some pink Coral Snows. From my current understanding you will want to induce brumation in Corns you want to breed which sucks as you'll have to find a way to maintain a cold but not too cold environment for a few months. Once you can get past them looking different from the mega cute ball pythons and the snake wrangling you'll have to do with the long skinny snakes then they are pretty awesome in my opinion.

I have two corn snakes right now, (still bp-less as much as I want one though!) I do agree with everyone else here. They are pretty cheap compared to bps however a better place to learn more about them would be to check out cornsnakes.com. There are so many corn snake owners there that really know what they are talking about.
Also, I don't know how their "activity level" really compares to a laid back ball python but you really have to keep your eyes on corn snakes because they are always on the move. Then again mine are super fun and sweet and content to weave around my finger and arms (depending on their size) and not to mention very adorable, but really its all a matter of personal preference.
Their temperature/humidity needs are also a lot more easy to handle and like ball pythons there are so many morphs out there. I just have a ghost and a snow corn right now which are single-genes I believe but they have amazing colors nevertheless.
Check out YouTube as well for videos so you can see their disposition compared to balls. ;) good luck.

Corns are awesome, but then again I believe that with most snakes and reptiles. As mentioned above Husbandry requirements are a little more lax than with bp's but if you are planning on breeding, remember that most of the popular corn morphs are recessive.
