Actually, corns possibly make better pets. BPs are very shy and stay in their hides most of the time, especially during the day. They can be stressed by too much handling. Plus their set-ups are a little more demanding which can cause trouble for a first time keeper, although it really isn't hard as long as someone is willing to put in the effort and money to get it right.

Corns on the other hand are more forgiving of a wider range of temps and humidity. They are more active and are more likely to be seen out of their hides during the day, which makes them better for watching. They are not as likely to be stressed by handling, although they can be very flighty when young and need a little work to tame them down. They are not as shy; in fact, the older of our 2 corns often will poke her head out of her hide to see what is going on when someone walks past her enclosure.

I have both species and love them both. They complement each other very nicely. When I'm in the mood to have a snake curl up on my lap while I watch a TV show, I take out a bp. When I'm in the mood for a more active handling session, I take out one of the corns.
