My BF's MBK is just not shaping up well, being a picky eater and not receptive to handling, and he wants to find it a better home and get a corn snake instead, since he knows they are nicer.

Here's the thing: He really wanted a solid black snake. Since kings aren't really hold-me snakes, and milks are only slightly better, a corn is the best bet...BUT they don't have any black corn snakes!
Can anyone tell me what the darkest corn snake is? We have a lavender, and he said if those came darker he would love it... Is there a corn with a lot of black in it?

If we can't find him a good snake for a pet, he might look into a chameleon.
