outstanding

the $ is unreal but when they come down keep an eye out cause they are cool snakes totally unique

When I worked with them, it reminded me of a really old person skin... I know that sounds bad, but it was like a 90 year old grandma's arm... They were just funny looking to me

A normal $10 corn is by far, a much more gorgeous animal, and money better spent.

Just my opinion.

they are alot cooler im person, they dont photograph well

Nah, not these. Plus they are not pure corns, they are Texas Rat Snake crosses from what I recall. To each his own though. I like some mutants that I am sure not everyone would! You asked for opinions... ;-)

Personally I don't like them, they remind me of silkie dragons. I feel kinda bad for it crawling around naked, I would hate to be naked everywhere I go. But I guess I'm biased (not a fan of rats, corns,or balls pythons).

post 223 and on is where I see that info

they originally came from a breeder in the UK (France?) I think? it's mentioned that is where BHB got their stock from.

just found that after a quick google search. I knew they are crosses but not sure where to go to find the original proof, I can look later when I have more time unless someone posts before I do.

look at their head/eye shape, they look like crosses
