Each year, more corn snakes are bred in captivity than any other snake species. Their increasing popularity is largely credited to their rich coloring, easy handling size and calm disposition.

Corn Snakes: The Comprehensive Owner’s Guide satisifies the needs of both the novice and seasoned veteran of "guttata culture", offering the latest on breeding, genetics, and the range and history of color and pattern variations, as well as the basics of feeding and care.
