corn snake or a baby leo

[blackbear]

hi guys just a lil debate here.... i wanna know which 1 of the 2 (corn snake or leopard gecko) would be better...

whats better for housing,feeding, price ect

me and my gf are debating which 1 would be best to fill our empty viv with.....

so give us the ups and downs of the corn snakes and leopard geckos guys.... and tell me which 1 is easyer to look after or more fun

I would think the gecko would be the easier and cheaper to maintain, but I have never kept either so I would truthfully know!

snake, cheaper to feed more handleable, for a normal colour prices the same, both active at night, both friendly (generally) both need same sort of set up (mat on a thermostat) hides water bown decor.
I really think there is very little in it, your best bet would be to go somewhere and both handle a leo and a corn and see what you think you would enjoy more.
I keep both and love and enjoy both but in different ways.

Ive kept both for over 15years and i'd say go for the corn, even though i still really like leopards, the corn tolerates more handling, easy to keep(well not really much in it) and feed and no crickets everywhere, plus the fact its easier to go away for a few days without having to worry about getting someone in to feed them

Well I would say Snake so much easier.

apples and oranges. they can't be compared in my mind. like mr. universe and miss universe...diff. good points.

ive got 2 adult leopard gecko's allready just that there normal morphs and i really enjoy them now id like some baby leopard gecko high end morphs.

but my gf's idea is cause we allready have leopard gecko's to get a corn snake and get another adults female leopard gecko.....

well then.... guess it might be a corn so far...

can some 1 post a link to a care sheet for them and.....

and would this viv do for a young corn

24x15x18 or would that be too big.... cause ive heard corn snakes dont like big spaces...

also i heard heat bulbs are a big no no unless coverd up.... so is a heat mat all u need?

As already said not much difference between the two apart from food.
A corn does'nt cost much to feed and it's once a week, a leo is fed everyday with fiddly crickets. If your really not fused which one you get i would suggest a corn.

Definately a lovely corn snake... beautiful and you have the pick of all colours. I love them.
