It's a tough choice, I love both of mine.



My cornsnake's positive points:



Eats pre-killed mice readily

Never bites or strikes me

He's not shy, but actively seeks you out if you open his cage

Easy to handle



My ball python's positive points:



Really stunningly attractive

A larger snake and thus really easy to handle because she's a bit slower than the cornsnake

I prefer bigger pets (bigger the better)

She gives a wicked good neck massage



The ball python has a negative point in that I've not been able to switch her from live mice to pre-killed thawed yet, it'll eat mice that have just been killed though. So you might want to ask the seller if the ball python you might puchase will eat pre-killed thawed rodents. I guess I'd probably choose my ball python over my cornsnake if I had to choose.



When you buy one, look at all the ones they have available, don't just pick the first one they show you. You're going to have it a long long time, so you may as well get the best looking one!
