Still Snakeless
is there a particular breed of ccorn snakes that are better for beginners (docile, easy to care for)?
or are they all good for beginners
 
There are no breeds in corns like their are in dogs and other animals. The differences between them are mutations affecting their color or pattern. A corn is a corn no matter what it looks like, choose the color you like the best.
 
Note that some bloodlines often share (or emphasize) certain traits, such as size, personality, willingness to feed (or not!) as hatchlings, etc. A good breeder should be able to tell which of his / her bloodlines will be the most suitable for you.

I usually steer beginners away from my okeetees, although they are generally beautiful, hardy, and great feeders. That is because they tend to be more nervous and take longer to settle down than my other bloodlines (most corn hatchlings are nervous at first, but these tend to be more so than other lines).

So you should ask each breeder as many questions as you need to about their bloodlines. That is one advantage of buying from a breeder instead of a pet shop or dealer - dealers will have no way to know about the history of the animal.
 
I would agree with you there Kathy. My pure line Okeetees are much more jumpy than my other cornsnakes. They have tamed down well as they've aged, but they were definitely not like my amel!
