I find them to be beautiful, from their early colors of yellow and red to there amazing green color. I also like the way that they lay in the trees all coiled up. I do also love the Amazon Emerald Boas but i think that the head shape is cooler on the GTP's. I would love to have one but from what i hear they hate handling and they have very large teeth.

Corn snakes are very good starter snakes .Are on the less expensive side and come in many different patterns and colors . They are not aggressive or mean for the most part.

Funny that you mentioned them, i actually think I've decided to get a Corn snake. I want a male and a Female [Not housed together] and name the male Osiris and the Female Isis. The male i would be Granite ( Anerythristic Bloodred) Cornsnake and for the female Gold Dust Motley Corn snake. What do you guys think?

My son has what I just found out is a candy cane corn , hes bright red with white bands. Recently I added a hose from a reptifogger to the corns home plus a branch end . Since that time he/she has been out of the hides and more active . Climbing stretching up to climb , every time the fogger turns on he stretches his head up and puts it in the fog . Anyway the point is the little corn is a lot more entertaining then Prince my bci common boa . At least in the cage out Prince is very nosey likes to be carried from spot to spot to look at everything and taste all the air he can . So corns are a lot of fun to watch and raise .

Ive had 7 ball pythons in my lifetime, not a huge amount but still.I have 4 now and 3 previous(adopted out or rehomed). My first one was a wild caught from a petstore way back when. I have never had one that was a biter, or aggressive. Ive not had one that wouldnt eat either.
However I have had aggressive BCI(common boas). I had one that was just crazy bad or super sweet and never knew what was going on in her little pea brain.
Ive had a mix with cornsnakes, a couple fiesty little buggers that eventually calmed down and some that are just sweet from the get go.
