Synopsis
Each year, more corn snakes are bred in captivity than any other snake species. Their increasing popularity is largely credited to their rich colouring, easy handling size, and calm disposition. Corns usually will not bite, constrict, or defecate under mild stress like other snakes. From corn snake expert Bill Love and Kathy Love and AVS, the definitive source on reptile and amphibian care, comes this revised and updated version, with the most comprehensive information available on keeping and breeding corn snakes. This book satisfies the needs of both the novice and the seasoned veteran of "guttata culture", offering the latest on breeding, genetics, and the range and history of colour and pattern variations, as well as the basics of feeding and care.

Beginners view
Corn Snakes the Comprehensive Owners Guide is exactly what it said. It was full of usefull information for me as a beginner. Covering all subjects from, where to get your snake, how to choose a healthy specimen, Basic housing requirements, Feeding, breeding, diseases, and handling techniques. which was fine for me. Then it covered subjects like the history of Morphing the basic snake colours and patterns. the law and owning snakes.I think this is predominantly the American Law, as it mentions feeding live pinkies to troublesome feeders. I understood that we could not feed live animals to our pets. For anyone who is thinking about buying a corn snake this is the book for you.

Excellent
I have read this book cover to cover, time and time again and I think its the best thing since sliced bread. Its extremely informative and educational, and covers everything you need to know about corns, and keeping them. It can be very breif, and dosent go in to too much detail, but it is a great book non the less
