Leucistic Texas Rats and Everglades for a beginner?

I like these two snake breeds a lot, and was wondering if they are good for beginners. Ya'll have been a great help to my questions, and thanks for advice.

They're both easy to care for, typical needs of any north american ratsnake. They get bigger than corns so plan on a 30 gallon tank someday. They settle down to be very docile with handling. Read up on all the caresheets you can, and make a decision for yourself.

good choices - I don't know if you've asked for read anything on this before, but just don't put them together. List of potential problems a mile long.
