The best way to REALLY learn anything about any type of snake is to get some inexpensive pamphlet type books on the kind he is interested in after you and him do a bit of research on the net. That is the only way to understand anything thoroughly and retain it all in your head.

There are many different books on corns, kings, boas, ball pythons, ratsnakes, etc...at pet stores and at book stores.

See, hhen you simply tell people things, it certainly isn't all they need to know, and they only understand a few bits and pieces of what you tell them. Books are the ONLY way to understand what snakes are about, and what their basic husbandry is all about. Plus the fact that you can refer to them whenever you want forever. It's really as simple as that. It's really the only way to keep them healthy and fully understand things before serious problems become an issue, not ask about it when they DO happen.
