He's gorgeous! I have a herd of corns myself, I do love them!

Thanks! They are really neat! coming from a ball, the curiousity of them is awesome. I love my nice calm ball, but its cool to have a snake thats not so skittish and scared. Cant wait till he grows alittle!

I somewhat wound up with a corn. My uncle moved out and never took him with him >_>

I definitely prefer my balls to a corn snake. Haha

But I love the color of yours :) ours is orange and red.

Well thats one way to get one. So far I have to say they both are neat in their own way, I do love my ball and her mellow slowness, plus im not a huge fan of super small snakes

I like the look of the orange and red, but im big on black/white combinations and things like that. thats the cool thing about corns though, there are TONS of morphs!

If it was my choice, I would have gotten a black and grey one.

This corn seriously freaks me out though. I enjoy the thickness of my bps, and they don't look like they're gonna bite me all the time :p

How much does your lil bugger weigh?

Well, they get bigger. Lol It will be a lot funner when he's 400 grams+. Then it's really fun to hold 'em!

Nice little worm you got there. :D Corns are certainly different, but lots of fun in their own way, especially when they grow up a bit. ;) I only have my snow girl left, but she's a doll and loves being out. The last one I had to rehome was a Ghost, and a special guy at that. He was well over 1300g when he left. :D
My favorites are the Amel (BRIGHT orange), Bloodred, and Butter.

Haha the Anery?? they are really nice too, but the store didnt have any, they had an anery motley which was really nice, but more money, and honestly I didnt like it was much as the Ghost.

The size of him bothers me too, I too like the thickness of my ball, I dont feel im gonna hurt her every time I try to pick her up lol.

As far as weight, if I had to guess (im too afraid to put him in a container on the scale) id say 10 grams maybe? he really is a tiny thing, and about 10-12 inches.

That they do and I cant wait! ive played with a few the were basically adults, and they were amazing! super mellow yet very curious. My little one right now still likes to rattle his tail and strike at me when I try to get him out, but calms down once im holding him. hopefully he will grow out of that :rolleyes: Good note though, I was told he hasnt refused a meal yet! (he has been fed 3 times since the breeder had him) cant say that about my ball! lol

Thanks! honestly ive caught bigger worms on my driveway after a solid rain :p Ive heard that anything over 1000g is pretty big for a corn, im hoping for a corn monster ;) maybe ill start giving him bunnies to make him grow super big! (kidding :P) But i wouldnt mind him being on the larger size for a corn. Im still learning the morphs so I had to google the ones you said, and I must say I like the butter corn (but then again I love any butter gene, butter balls are one of my favorites :D)

There are so many corn morphs out there, I'm not surprised you're still learning. Heck, I'M still learning what they all look like. :D
And you're right about the butter... there's just something about yellow snakes. :) My favorite BPs are Bees, bright pastels and albinos. But I also just love the vivid oranges of a good Amelanistic corn. Like my now rehomed fella Apollo. Here's a pic we snapped of him on my step-mother's purse shortly before I had to let him go:

And that picture does NOT show just how bright he really is. :) Almost florescent. I miss him... thinking the next corn I can get will be one like him.

My first snakes were corns, so they will always have a special place in my heart. Right now, I have a 75g bloodred, a 45g snow, a 25g normal, a 11g anery motley, and a 6g Miami phase. All mine are still babies but they get bigger each day! From the size of your ghost, I would estimate him to be about 20-25g or so. He looks about the same size as my normal.

Haha I know! ive seen a few charts, its crazy how many morphs there are. yellow snakes are nice, but I must say I personally like the black/grey/tan look (with a few exceptions) Apollo is very nice looking! Blends right into the purse lol, and I deff think you should get another one, cant go wrong with one more snake!

Youve got a nice variety going on there! ill take your word on the weight lol, I just fed him last night (hes got a nice little pinky lump in him) so once I feel hes digested enough ill put him on the scale and check.

I must say, since I started on balls im a sucker for them, but I have the feeling I will quickly be turning into a corn fan lol.

:) Yeah, he was a beauty. And it's really easy to be fans of both! Even though my last remaining corn is technically my partner's snake :D, I plan on having at least one more corn in addition to the (eventually) 5 total BPs I will have. Corns are just awesome snakes... and I don't have to worry as much about their temperatures up here in the PNW ;)
