...and they're native to Florida. The premier corn snake breeder is still there, if I'm not mistaken. Bill and Kathy Love wrote the book on corns.

Just about all of my corns came from Bill and Kathy and they did write the book on corns, but that was many years ago. At that time, I was breeding and raising Bearded Dragons and Old World chameleons, but my daughter wanted a snake to cuddle with and corns were good starter snakes. As for housing them, I guess with all the cages and aquariums already around the house, there just wasn't any room left to display the corns. I not only had the reptiles, but all the crickets, superworms and flies to feed them, I was a bug farmer as well.

Awesome. I used to have Leopard Geckos and a couple Veileds. Had an opportunity several years ago to get a beautiful Panther (didn't know the locality) for $100, but didn't pull the trigger, and I'm still kicking myself about that one.

As of right now, all I have are a pair of corns, a Dumeril's ground (from the Bean Farm, who are friends of mine), and a Green Tree Python (from Signal Herp). Check this out for a few pics of some of the things I have/had and such.
