i've had both in the past,but there are 2 main advantages for picking a corn over a ball:
1.perfectly healthy,parasite free, wild-caught balls(and f-1's,sometimes)are notorious for going off feed for no reason,and sometimes won't eat again for over a year(how many healthy corns have ever done that,honestly?),and
2.lets face it,balls are short & dumpy,and some are ridiculously over-priced,normal-looking snakes("fire","vanilla",etc.i.m.o.,just people trying to make an easy buck by selling some poor sucker a $20 snake for $500 or $600.at least most corn morphs look distinct)
now,before you guys start bashing me for not falling head over heels for those dinky little(barely)pythons,pied-balls are pretty sweet.
