Asking is the first step in the right direction. i would say go to a local breeder or a reptile show if you have one near you. Once you get into a routine, its not a big deal. The most time is in the feeding for me because I feed out of my enclosure and have over 30 snakes to feed. Aspen bedding seems to be working good for me, but everyone has their own opinions on just about everything in terms of care. I check my snakes everyday, to make sure everyone has water, has not defacated in it, spot clean the cages, and make sure everyone is alive and well. I change water every other day, and feed ever 5-8 days. Because I have a wide range of ages in my collection, some do not eat on the same days as others. But, if you are just going for one, you do not need to worry about that. I also have lizards and stuff that need fresh food everyday, so everything fits nicely in a routine, as I said. Good luck. After you decide to get a corn, one of the hardest decisions is which color!! LOL. have fun, and keep asking, researching

I try to take one day at a time but sometimes several days attack me at once!
