Hello from Seattle
Hi everyone,
I'm new to snakes and don't have any of my own yet. I'm not even sure if snakes are the right pet for me, to be honest. But I've heard that corns are good beginner snakes, plus they look great, so I'm focusing on them while doing my "snake homework". For now I'll just be lurking around the place, reading, learning, and living vicariously though everyone's photos. I find I'm particularly drawn to bloodreds...but with so many morphs available, it's easy to see how folks end up with large collections! |

Welcome to the forum!
Yes - snakes can be addictive, very addictive. There are also people satisfied to keep one or two, but be warned - some start out that way and end up converting their garage/basement/bedroom etc. to accommodate huge breeding projects ... The bloodred is a very pretty snake. You should take a gander at Okeetee and Miami - two absolutely stunning variations of the "normal" corn snake.

Hello.....and welcome to the site. It's great that you are doing your homework before getting a snake, if that's what you end up getting. As mentioned above, a small pet can turn into a bit of a hobby if your not too careful......then again, there's nothing wrong with that either.
 Take a look around at some of the pics in the Morph Section, along with all of the other topics that have been discussed regarding the owning/care of corn snakes. They are one of the better beginner pets to own and considered by many to be the best snake for a newbie. Good luck and post up some pictures when you get your 1st one.......or 1st group of them.  G

 I appreciate that you're finding out first if a snake is the right fit for you as a pet. If you do find out that you want one, let me know, I'm in Tacoma!

Thanks so much, everyone! This forum's filled will great info--in the short time I've been reading I've already learned quite a bit. (Didn't know before about the importance of feeding outside the cage because of the danger of substrate being ingested). Still have a long way to go, though.

Welcome and congrats on doing your research first. Two very good books on keeping corns are:
