Ball Python
 

Quick question how is a ball python compared to a corn snake??? Are they very agressive? Are they more active? Do they like to be held? Any general info will help thanks
Brian

Brian,
I have heard both ball's and corns are "beginer snakes". Balls require more heat than corns and full grown balls can eat rats. Other than that there is not much difference in my opinion. My ball has no problems being held. I take to school with my son and let the other kids see him and handle him with no problem. My corns are still fairly small so they are very squirmish when being held. So maybe someone with adult balls and aduly corns would be better for info. But in my opion they are both great snakes and don't mind being held...

I have had both adult ball pythons and adult corns. The way that you just desribe it, is the way mine are. I've only been bit by a ball python once in my 4 years of keeping and breeding them and he was a WC adult male that just came in. So you are pretty much right.

Drizzt,
I just got tagged by my one of my corns a few weeks ago, and it drew blood. It didn't hurt more of a surprise. But my ball has never bitten, even if I pick him up while he is in shed he never seems to get irritated.
