I've been considering getting a corn snake due to everything I've read about them so far makes them out to be easy care low maintainance. But a person I know, whose late husband did wild animal rescue, said that snakes are not as easy to care for as I've been led to beleive by these sites.

So which is it Low or high maintainance? Around how many minutes/hours per day/week am I looking at in care?

And is there places to get snakes that are more likely to eat the frozen mice rather than live?

Any advice would be nice as well as good books or websites you could suggest.

Thanks.
