Corn Snakes are great! i currently have 2. i have a nearly 400gram juvenile and a teeny-tiny hatchling. they're soooo much easier to care for compared to my BP's. i don't even have them on hotspots or heat up their feeders and they are thriving. they even shed easier in my experience. always perfect. the only thing is that they are really squirmy as babies, defensive and will rasp/rattle their tails. but u are adopting an adult. with handling, they can chill out as they get older. still they are definitely more active and faster than BP's.
a little variety is good. check out the care sheet for more husbandry info - https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ttata-guttata)
