Corn snake help?

[Gato'smum]

Hello all! I have a question:

I'm getting a corn snake in a few weeks. This will be my first snake, and I'm wondering if there's anything I need to look out for (i.e. crankiness, etc.). I know it depends on the animal, but is there anything I should know about corn snakes in general?

Thanks~

How old is the snake? Has it been a pet all along? Who are you getting it from? What gender is it? Before you get it, you should make sure you have a snake-knowledgeable vet nearby, and do you have the tank, etc., or are you getting that with the snake?

Sorry, lots of questions, I know!

It's a female, and she's pretty young, only a year or two. She belonged to my friend's brother, who's going to college and couldn't take her with him. She already has a cage, bedding, water bowl, heat lamp, etc.

You should be able to ask him about her temperament, then. It varies snake to snake, a lot. Be prepared for an adjustment period, let her get used to you before handling her too much, but enjoy!

I will, thanks!

I take it you're a snake owner...?

She doesn't have any pet but, she knows a LOT about them!

Good Luck with your little snake Post some pictures of her if you can
