Corn snakes....

Corn snakes are great! I have had Fluffy since the beginning of the year. He is so great!

Though they may be flighty while younger, they are known for having an even temperament and being easy to handle. The bit about being escape artists is true (Fluffy is the opposite, though. He stays on the ground quite a bit.). We just have a couple of heavy books on one end (There is a heating lamp on the other end. The heating pad doesn't *quite* keep up the ambient temperature and humidity on its own.).

Here's Fluffy a few months ago:



I think he's one of the amelanistic bloodred varieties or reverse okeetee. Our next one will probably be one of the bloodred, lavender, or opal varieties.

We've had our Corn snake, Flick, for just short of 7 years. They're great snakes. They overall tend to be a pretty easy snake to keep. We've never had a problem with Flick escaping. He's a great eater too- he eats 3-4 frozen/thawed rat fuzzies every 7- 10 days. He's never bitten (he doesn't even strike at his food).

Here is a picture of Flick, he's a Snow Corn. The picture is pretty old, but it's what I found on my photobucket account (he looks the same now, just bigger).

A corn snake would make a wonderful pet.
