Im having troubles at the moment at home and have to move so wont be getting another corn prob for 6 months maybe to a year once its all sorted.
How hard would it be to find a year and a half old corn when im able to get another one?

To be honest, older corns come available pretty regularly. People seem to buy cute little hatchlings and then get bored, don't have room, etc. All of mine have been bought as older snakes. I have only had one hatchling and that died so it kind of put me off hatchlings a little.

hmm my neck of the woods hatchies are all over the place.. yet yearlings/subadults are a rare find and tend to cost more, but thats through the breeders i know, and there all high end prices.
e.g. ready to breed/or soon. But im sure theres snakes out there just got to look! and here is a good start! :)

Older snakes do cost more than hatchlings as they are seen to have passed the danger period of infant deaths. A snake that is of breeding age is going to cost a bit more again for obvious reasons

If you do a good search, you can get normals, snows, amels, anerys for like £20/30 with some kind of basic set-up from people desperate to get rid.

One thing I have noticed though is you get a lot of people 'moving' or 'unable to devote time to the animal' and you can clearly see that the snake is too big for the setup its in (and normally missing a lot of equipment needed too) and they have bought a tiny little snake that all of a sudden is a big snake and they either cant afford to upgrade their viv or just dont want something so large. You see it all the time. There are the honest people out there too though, cant tar everyone with the same brush.
