First of all, Kudos for investigating a snake BEFORE you buy. Seems like so many buy the snake first and then post urgent messages asking how to care for their new animal. I agree with the two previous posts. I think corns are really easy to care for as long as you consider a few basic requirements, heat, feeding, and tank size. etc

I would add that you might want to take a look at the care sheet link above and read about the requirements of each snake.

As a graduate student in college right now, I don't have a lot of free time, but having three snakes isn't much work at all. In fact, I find it very stress relieving and fun handling them and cleaning out their cages!

Anyway, take a look at the care sheet link above and look at the requirements for corns, balls pythons, garters, and sand boas.

Would stear clear of green anacodas and gaboon vipers for now!
