 A very helpful book, but based in America April 19, 2008
This is a great book for giving an overview and introduction to anyone who is thinking of getting a corn snake. It covers everythign from basic requirements and recomendations for chossing your first snake to diseases and disorders. There is a long section at the end covering the various morphs (colours and patterns) that have been selectivly breed, including many colour pictures.
The book does have negative points, the primary one been that it is American. This means that the ligal points mentioned are not applicable and some things that are legal in America, such as feeding live prey which is mentioned repeatedly, are illigal in the UK so these sections are of less use.
This in mind it is still a highly recomended book for beginners simply because there is nothing comparable published by a UK author, however it is also advisable to seek advice from a specailist regarding some of the issues that the book does not cover
Worth a read for anyone considering a corn snake! November 19, 2007

Well written and very comprehensive guide to owning a corn snake. Great for first time buyers as this book tells you information more advanced books sometimes miss out, such as how to hold a snake...not always obvious to first time owners. Well worth a read!

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.
