I just recently got my first corn. He had been owned by my friend's brother, and would sometimes refuse a meal. I fed him since he arrived here, and he ate like a little spring-loaded eating machine
He is definately a world away from a ball python. I hardly even think of BPs as snakes, since they are so mellow (at least my 8 are.) I almost think of them in terms of being a pile of snake, since they're always coiled up in my experience.. Whereas, holding my corn is a workout! Granted, he is still settling in and I am not handling him unnecessarily, but wow is he fast!
