Hi, I have a few ball pythons so here's my opinion on those.
They are overall slow, calm and relaxing to hold and watch. like to stay in their hides all day nice and cozy but at night will go out and explore their whole tank/tub. Their faces are super cute and they can be great first snakes.
I remember when I first held my first ball python he was a teeny tiny baby that fit in the palm of my hand snd when he first moved I felt so anxious that Id drop him. First few weeks he didn't want to eat but now hes our best feeder. Also as babies they are very head shy and will mostly scare easily, watch your movements around them be slow and gentle until they gain confidence. Now a days I can't even show people how they ball up because he lets me tuch his head and all no problem but that takes time.
As they grow they get chubby and they are very chill pets you can watch tv with for a while. They need regulated temps but I'm not too sure about what they should be as it varies a little bit depending on your state's natural temperature (Using a heatmat at 85 degrees (random number) in a state where the average temperature is 90 degrees will cook the poor fella while in alaska it might not heat them up enough).
I dont know much about corn snakes but this is my 2 cents on ball pythons. Remember to learn about how to keep their proper temps and humidity and all that important stuff.
