begginer snake corn or python?
ok ive done my research and ive looked and searched and googled some more and i have officially narrowed it down to corn vs. ball python as my first snake, heres why i cant decide though, i love corns but they arent as laid back as i would enjoy although i could live with that little thing. Then ball pythons i hear can be very finicky eaters, this is a definite turn off. my mom had a boa named julius squeezer that stopped eating and she had to give it to her vet before it starved. i dont want to lose my first snake by starving him because he doesnt want to eat. but i do like the thickness and relaxed attitude of ball pythons though more than corns. corns just sound a lot less finicky and sounds like there would be less chance of a mistake wich could end its life. please help me decide?
This is a difficult question, as I own and love both Corn snakes and Ball pythons.
Ball pythons, while slow moving and good tempered; have very high humidity needs, are finicky eaters, and are prone to shedding problems, as I am sure you know. There are definitely some things you can do to prevent this (use the right caging and substrate), but it is still difficult for some keepers. Corns are have low humidity needs, are great eaters and good shedders, but are often quick moving, can be nippy (particularly when young) and can be hard to handle.
Using a coconut dirt-type substrate (Eco-Earth by Zoo-med being my favorite) and having a front opening, solid construction cage with no screen lid (maybe small screens on the sides for ventilation) will help take care of the shedding and humidity issues that you would regularly have with Ball pythons. While Ball pythons will generally go off of feeding for a couple of weeks to a couple of months out of the year; it is VERY rare for them to starve themselves to death.
Corn snakes, as I said, can be nippy and are quick moving, but generally tame down with regular handling. However even the tamest adults seem to be constantly on the move; so you really can’t just put them on your lap, shounder or hand and expect them to stay there. If you want a snake that is content just to hang out, then these guys may not be the snakes for you.
If you are open to other species; I’d highly recommend a Rosy boa. They have all of the good points of both species; and really none of the bad. (They are docile and slow moving, are great eaters, aren’t prone to shedding issues, etc)
They are incredibly docile, one of the easiest snake species I
