heya and welcome
a 'chocolate corn' will be a fancy new name for an already established morph, try having a look on the 'morph bible' http://iansvivarium.com/cornmorphs.php |

Welcome to the forum choc_corn! You will find that this is a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. I know your other half has had a lot of experience with snakes, but it is great that you are trying to find out as much as you can yourself. Not sure how much snake care and advice you have been given when you got your snake but I would advise the following:
1. Not sure how long you have had your snake but you need to leave it for a week to get over the stress of moving to your house and let it settle into its new surroundings by leaving it without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way it gets used to your smell.
2. Make sure you read the care sheet (http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm), lots of information for new snake owners. Also read this topic on 'Your 1st Snake' http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133
3. No question asked on this forum is a silly question.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. I hope you got as much info on your snake when you got it....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog poos!
5. Unwritten forum rule- pics as soon as possible! These will be even more important if you are trying to find out what sort of morph your snake is. Checkout this http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14 to see how to post pics.
I am sorry if I have repeated stuff you have already learnt from your OH, but it is better told twice than not at all. I am not sure whether your OH has any corns at the moment but would be interested to find out. Keeping corns are very addictive....most of us start out with one and the lucky ones move on from there while those of us who are not so lucky try to contain our jealousy!!
