First snakes are always the best. When you get a bigger budget, you should look into red tail boas. Red tails are my favorite snake. So gorgeous and sweet. Most boas are social by nature, which is nice, considering some snakes are assholes *cough**cough* rat snakes *cough**cough. Be sure when you sex him, to visually do so. Don't pop or probe him, as it's very uncomfortable and can be stressful for him. If you cannot visually sex him or just don't know what to look for, just decide on a gender and call it a day. Oh, and be sure not to feed inside of his enclosure. Also be sure to handle him daily to prevent having an anti-social and aggressive corn. Other than that, enjoy the little guy, keep his temps and humidity leveled, and of course, feed him! Glad to hear you did a lot of research before getting him, as a lot of people get animals on the spot and never take care of them. I'm about to rescue an 8 foot red tail boa from being in a 10 gallon.
Thanks for the information i knew most of it but it is very helpful. My first choice was going to be a ball Python but they are sadly illegal in Saskatchewan, Canada same with all boas I think
Ball pythons are very timid, I think you'll enjoy your corn more lol.
Really sucks to hear about the boas though. If you're ever in a boa-legal zone, don't hesitate getting one if you have the money for one and can provide for it. Definitely worth the investment. Regardless, keep us updated on your corn, would be nice to see this little guy grow!

I had a Ball for while. I agree that they're quite timid, especially when handled. I also had a Corn and found it was more active than the Ball.

Jokxrr wrote Nice looking snake there. I love all kinds of different snake skins they have with all different colours. I thought it would be a (Big Daddy Snake) but you started with a small sized snake. Look after him.
ya I wanted to get a small more manageable snake to start
