- Additional info: Similar to ball pythons; corn, king, and rat snakes have many color and pattern mutations. That being the case, the prices are also variable. They are active and enjoy exploring their enclosures. Their care is fairly simple and is the perfect option for a pet or for breeding if you’re looking to produce cool morphs! Lights are optional but not recommended. Heat mats are the best choice. (All info above is based on common species, variable information between species may apply)
