My only concern with corns is all the hybrid stuff floating around like turbos, jungles, and the ratsnake/corn crosses! I see thamnophis becoming more popular in the future because let's face it garters are the best kept secret! I don't know if they will ever be as popular as corns and ball pythons though because people tend to be scared of the smaller babies!


I'm convinced that they're both great snakes, as long as you stop breeding them when you start getting bug eyes, neurological disorders, missing pieces or inability to hatch, instead of ramping it up.
Obviously I'm not a fan of hybrids, either.
