The pet store just got three or four adorable baby corn snakes in and I'd like to buy one because I absolutely detest the condition of their older reptiles and I feel bad for the poor snakes. I want to make sure this is something I'm going to want to get into.



I've been wanting a corn snake for about two years now, ever since a met a friend's. I've done a lot of reading on corn snakes and they look like good "beginners'" snakes--pretty easy to care for, and feeding and cleaning don't seem to be a problem at all.



I'd like something interesting that would move around and that I could handle out of the cage fairly often. Corn snakes are apparently supposed to be pretty inquisitive, which is a plus. I don't want an animal that will sit in its cage basking under a heat lamp all day and nigt in the exact same position and go into hiding whenever I try to pick it up.



Also, I'm going away to college in a couple years so I need to make sure whatever I end up with travels well.



Thanks in advance for the help!
