first time snake??

does anyone have any recamendations of a good first snake that stay relativly small and is docile and would make a good first snake? also where can i get one i was thinking of a corn snake, is this a good choice??

I was figuring someone with more knowledge of corn snakes than I would answer, but I'll give it a shot...

Corn snakes are considered excellent beginner snakes. Here is a care sheet from NERD. I know that there are many other good care sheets out there as well as a couple of good old-fashioned books. If you are going to buy online, I would suggest looking at Rich Zuchowski's site: http://www.serpenco.com.

Another excellent (and commonly recommended) first snake is a Rosy Boa. Here is a care sheet on them and you can find a link to a photo gallery at the bottom of that page.

Both of these snakes can be bought rather inexpensively, both are considered easy to care for, both are typically very docile. Hopefully the links will provide you with a good start on gathering information!
