Re: corn snakes

I'd say for a first time snake keeper, either get a corn snake or a royal python.
I got a royal and they're absolutely lovely

Re: corn snakes

Corn Snakes and Royal Pythons are recommended for begginers to snakes as they are both docile and hardy species.

I personally own corns and think they're lovely

You do have to be aware that reptiles in general need more specialised care than mammals, such as correct temperatures (one side of the enclosure for the snake to warm up and one to cool down) the correct humidity (too dry can create shedding problems and too moist and cause respiratory problems) etc so make sure to do plenty of research before purchasing one so you both have happy lives together

Generally speaking they are easy to keep, snakes are carnivores so eat mice, the size of the mouse depends on the size of the snake. Depending where you get the snake from they are easy to handle, snakes from petshops however are not so easy to handle as the snake lives in isolation away from human contact most of it's time there so I'd recommend getting from a reputable breeder if you do get one Initially the cost of getting everything together can be a little pricey i.e. the vivarium, hides, heatmat, stats, waterdish etc.. but the cost of living isn't that expensive.
