    i have 2 right now and want a couple more but simply can't afford to feed them with all the other snakes i own
    very cool animals
    the thing i like best about them is the morphs are so cheap
    and there are so many different types

    We have an albino corn, a normal phase corn and that friekish gopher X Corn (god don't breed those two species together, that's just so wrong..lol)
    My albino corn draws allot of attn at our educational shows. A great freind of mine breeds the Okatee reds (I think) and so I've had some fun times watching the babies hatch etc. It's amazing how small corns are when your used to Boid babies.

    Some guy said that watching his eggs pip was only rivalled by the birth of his children. It's something I'd like to experience for sure, having some babies hatch. And in a year I will be able to. I'm so excited. Ball python babies are too cute for words. Same with corns.

    I kept a corn as my first herp, and that was giant compared to what I was used to. I was used to 2 foot garters. So needless to say I was shocked by bp's. Hehe, it's hard to go back after having a ball python. I'd like nothing less then to be a breeder of bp's and corns tho.

    I had two not too long ago.(Actually, up until last month). I bought them as adults and they were EXTREMELY tame, no musking, no biting, nothing. But I traded them for a baby ball python. I Couldn't Help It!!!!!! They were awesome pets, though, I would say the best first timers snake.

    I have a sweet little normal corn named Maizey. Never nipped or musked. Eats like a pig (just as often as you'll feed her).

    Inquisitive, great with my kids. Only drawback is that they can be shy, and spend a lot of time in their hides.

    I love my corn, but if I had to give up my corn or my BP, Maizey's gotta go.

    I have one Albino Red Corn. He is about 17 months old and almost 2 feet long. Very attentive snake. I have never had him musk on me on anything that I put him on, but he does have a little temper though.

    OK, What is musking???????????

    Musking is something many colubred snakes do as a defense mechanism, not a nice smell at all, I lucked out with our two corns as we have had no problems, but I have been musked many of times in the past, not a fun experience.
    I think with handeling they get more comphoratble and won't musk anymore
    Do you guys agree, that's just my personall observation
    Thanks
