cant do it in one thing, while rep keeping is relatively straightforward there are so many parts that have to be correct for it to be successful. there is no one thing more important than the other ;).
although may also say do not cut corners :D |

As a first time snake keeper myself I have to totally agree with Moppet.
Research, join a good forum like "the corn snake forum" do more research and ask questions (even if they might sound odd to you) you can be guaranteed an answer from other helpful corn snake people. Oh and do more research... |

While buying the cat yet more food at the weekend in a local pet store i found myself drawn to the selection of reptiles they have.
While there i met a prospective new snake keeper, advice given check out the corn snake forum ,join, learn and ask any questions you want as help is on hand.
He was also adviced to buy from a breeder as they should affer more advice ,will know the snakes history and keep the price down.
He seemed happy as he glazed over and carried on looking at the snakes. |
