Re: I was being stupid when buying this corn snake

Paid about 25 dollars for him.

Thank's starbuck I'll listen to your advice. Have any of you guys ever had any success with wild caught specimens?(No parasites, diseases, becomes docile gradually with handling...etc) or are most wild caught snakes more than likely to have these issues?

I don't know how others feel about it without seeing symptoms, but being WC I would start a treatment of Fenbendazole right off the bat, listen for any RI, check for ticks, mites, and scale rot.

I don't know about corns, the species probably has something to do with being able to calm it down, but I have had other species of WC calm down.
