I'm having a tough decision :(

My ball python is a male retired breeder. We adopted him for $50, it was a bit steep. He is about 8 years old now. His self awareness was startling at first, but as he got accustomed to us and the house he relaxed. He will rest his head in our hands, flick his tongue down our ears, rub his neck against our hair, and entangle his body around our necks. But it did take a year for him to fully unclench. He is the biggest drama queen I've ever encountered and I've always had cats.

"Hiss, stop hissing in my ear!" :grin01: He sounds charming! I do agree though, corns are my snake and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
 
Hehe, you posted this in a corn snake forum, people are going to tell you to stay with the corn! I agree with starsevol, though. When I buy an animal I keep it until it dies because as soon as it becomes mine I make a pledge to take care of it for the rest of it's natural life, unless I can't in which case I give it to someone who can and will.

On the subject of which snake is better, it totally depends on what you like. Balls are slightly more care intesive and move around less. Corn snakes are easier and generally more active.
