I've been thinking about getting a corn snake.. and to be honest I don't know much at all about keeping snakes. I keep numerous tarantulas, but that is all at the moment.
I just have a few questions about corn snakes.
I noticed some have different markings/patterns and colours. Are there different types of corn snakes ?
Do all corn snakes share the same scientific name even with different markings ? Or are they different "spieces" ?
and for the annoying newbie questions!
- How big do corn snakes get when fully grown ? how long does it take to reach adult size, and do the size of males and females differ ?
- Is there a preference for a male or female snake other than breeding purposes ? Like are either more docile , etc etc.
Can anyone point me into a direction of good corn snakes sites that may also answer more of the basic corn snake questions ?
I noticed people mentioning a good book on this site, that I will check out.
Thanks so much in advance.
