Touché - on the "with scales."Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Most corn snakes ARE sweeties. Just because they move around more, or faster than BPs, doesn't mean they're difficult or feisty. They're great beginner snakes (with scales, anyway).
I agree. Great snakes, period. I may have larger constrictors and "more difficult" snakes in my collection, but both my corns are awesome. Sweet, eat like clockwork, easy to keep and forgiving, come in so many colors and patterns, etc. What else could you want? I recommend for beginners because of tank size and how easy husbandry is, but also know many people who keep them for life. Like me, they still appreciate them.
I do find it funny that many people "feel" that colubrids in general, but definitely corns, are "creepy" or scary because they move fast and in a serpentine way. I find more people are comfortable with my Boas and Pythons because they are so slow and deliberate in their movements. My mom loves holding Behira (Female BI), but doesn't like holding Figment (wiggle worm Lavender Corn). She will hold Solana because she's pretty chill for a corn. Not too much of a wiggle worm once out for a minute.
