Hatching Black Racers??????

[Charis]

Anyway, we are talking about getting my daughter a corn snake for a beginner snake, we will see. I am studying up on different species and how hard they are to keep, etc...

I have 3 corns & am snake-sitting a ball python for my cousin at the moment. I like my corns a lot, but have to say temperament wise, the BP is the best snake I've owned up to & including the garters I've had in the past. There are a few care things about them I don't really like, for one thing they can be picky eaters, but overall I'd recommend one as a beginner's snake over a corn, for a child anyway. Just my two cents.
