i just made this big long post, when to actually post and my wireless connection decided to drop on me, so i lost it all. in short though, i agree with the others about getting a ball for a few reasons. males usually top out at about 3 feet and can live fine in a 20-30 gallon tank, which is the same size a corn would need. balls are naturally nocturnal, and therefore dont need uvb lights which can cost upwards of $20 per bulb, which usually scares away new herpers. corns however do need uvb, even though some will argue otherwise. whatever you do decide to get, make sure you buy captive bred and if you get a ball, ask if they have a feed card that has the past feedings. also ask if it is eating mice or rats, live of f/t, and ask what size prey it has been on and how often they have been feeding. there is nothing worse than taking your new snake home and learning the hard(not to mention stressful) way that it will ONLY eat hopper mice or something on those lines. good luck and keep us posted!
