Does anyone have any experience with jungle corns? I've never owned a king snake. I am wondering if they are as docile as corns.

Their behavior is pretty variable since they are hybrids. Some are more cornsnake like and some more king snake like. I have kings and love them! But they tend to be flightier and will musk and poop on you more often then corns. If you look in "general chit chat" area there's a conversation about kings (she gunna eat me)

How is your veiled chameleon? I have always loved them, but have yet to own one. Are they hard to take care of? Is the care similar to a beardie?

Cohabbing is cruelty...
Just my opinion of course but here goes......
Jungle corns are neither from the jungle or corn snakes.
They are created by breeding 2 animals that would never ever breed in nature and often need to be tricked into breeding. Kings in most cases would eat the corn rather than breed with it.
If you want a king, get a king!! A real honest to goodness king!!
Not all are musking biting stinkers.
A pure blotched or Florida king can be a wonderful sweet pet.

I must spread some reputation around, etc.
Kings are great. They are not corns, though. Many do have ridiculous feeding responses. Enough corns try to eat me as it is, kings are 10 times more inclined to do that. Eastern and Florida kings have been better on average for me that Calis. I really like two (natural) intergrades; Apalachicola and Goini kings from a temperament standpoint, but all getula tend to be high strung babies and have the potential to be "try to eat it first and ask questions later" animals as they grow up. Jungle corns are abominations, IMO. I won't even do business with those that produce them.

They are harder then a beardie. Much more important to keep humidity high and they need a mister or a dropper to drink water as they don't recognize standing water. They also aren't as friendly. My girl will hang out with us but she can be a pistol and prefers to quietly hide in her leaves. But they are beautiful!

They are gorgeous. I should get more experience before I get one though. Thanks!

I may try a king after I spend a couple years with my corns. I am very new to snakes. Just love hearing about all the different species. Thanks or the info!
