Sorry to hear about your ball python.Well corns are nice also.It really depends on the snake as each has its own "attitude" in the flighty area lol.I have had babies that were calm(once they realized your not going to eat them lol) and i have had spaztic adults
.In my opinion the more they are handled the more they realize your not danger
.The temps are easier to keep(80ish) when compared to ball pythons.If you decide to buy a corn look around before deciding as they come in tons of colors lol.
