If it is your first snake both corn and African house are a great choice. Both are usualy realy laid back snakes. Depending on what you are looking to do they are both easy to breed. African house snakes are easier to breed than corns. I was into them about 10 years ago. All you need is a pair and females multiple clutch a year. Also there is no need to cool them down. There are many diffrent locality House snakes. Corns are beautiful, and if you are a morph person the possibilites are endless. I see new "designer" corn morphs constantly. In fact I posted on another fourm the other day how I hate the term designer used to describe a snake. Some day we may see the Gucci corn snake. Stay away from the Hognose for now unless you get a western. Easterns and Southerns can be tough to feed. Also they are a rear fanged snake. Even thoug they are known to be harmless. If you are seriously allergic to things like bees, etc. You never know what can happen. I saw a guys hand blow up and turn black and blue from a garter snake. And yes garters do have enzymes in their saliva one can be allergic too. Cheers Greg
