Everyday it seems like theres another person askin whether they should get a ball python or a corn snake...do some reasearch people...it shouldnt be up to other people what kind of snake you get you should pick one that you beleive you can care for and will allow it to live a healthy life both are great starter snakes both have their flaws...and also another one of my bugaboos...dont buy a snake then get on here and ask how to take care of it and what to feed it etc... you should have already looked into all of this before getting the snake...its kinda scary knowing people buy snakes without knowing much about them...which is one of the main contributors in the giant burmese and reticulated python troubles their having in florida...heck i live in indiana and they just found a 11 foot burmese python in one of the rivers up here...that snake wouldnt of lived if it hadnt of been found it gets way to cold up here....sorry if i seem like a d*ck i just wanted to get that off of my chest lol
