    BP owner wanting to sound smart when I help my nephew pick out his new corn snake

    Hey all! I am excited to say that my nephew is going to the reptile expo next week to pick out a new corn snake! My sister-in-law is going shopping for supplies as we speak, so my question is regarding what a typical corn setup looks like. Is it much different than the set up for ball pythons? They will be keeping him in a tank.

    Similar, yes, but less worry about heat and humidity. They also tend to like climbing a lot more. Mine spend most of their awake time as high as they can get. They are much more adept at escaping, too.
    Leilani- corn snake (butter tesserra)
    Keahi- corn snake (sunglow motley)
    Pololena- ball python (banana)
    Ichtaka- ball python (mystic potion)
    Wonambi- Brazilian rainbow boa (normal)

    Humidity isn't as much of a concern for corns. Keeping a BP in a tank is a nightmare, but a corn snake in a tank is a breeze. Temps don't have to be quite as high either, and the screen top makes it easier to create a gradient.
