What they will eat, how often, are they handible, what size enclosure they take, what king of lighting they take. Garters are fun, only take ten gallon for one, eat fish are tamable, and are easily and cheaply aquired, like fifteen dollars. Also, a mistake i kept making when i first started collecting was that i always aquired nocturnal species of herps, which you can't watch diring the day without minipulating the time of day.
Good luck with snakes, Nick H.
