I'm presently trying to decide whether I want to get a Ball Python or a Cornsnake and I was hoping you guys could help me make my decision. Both snakes appeal to me in different ways but I can't make a decision. A friend of mine has a huge collection of cornsnakes and their vibrant colors are amazing. However, they don't seem to be snakes that like to just sit and be held...they are constantly on the move and trying to climb up my sleeve or something similar. I've read in a few places that Ball Pythons tend to be more calm and are more prone to just curling up and being still when you hold them. While obviously a snake does not have the tempermant of a dog....would it be fair to say that Ball Pythons "like" to be held? (Or atleast more so than a corn?)
Also if any of you have some general recommendations for one of these snakes over the other I would greatly appreciate them!
Thanks!
One more thing....is it true that Ball Python's don't musk?
