Read your caresheets and think about which one would suit you? Which one can you take care of the best as far as meeting it's needs for health and habitat?

Good to hear. Don't let someone pressure you into buying something that you're not too sure about.

I hope that when you say snakes aren't for you yet, that you didn't decide on getting the chameleon instead. They are much harder to care for than a cornsnake. I'm not trying to say don't get this or don't get that, and I'm not trying to say get this or get that. You need to do a whack of research and decide for yourself if you can meet it's care requirements. Good luck.

Don't let anyone intimidate you in to the wrong decision. Any reputable breeder wouldn't try to convince you to get something that doesn't appeal to you in the first place. A good rule to go on is that if you aren't sure, then don't. Whatever you decide on, it should be something that interests you, that is the only way it will work out in the long run ;)

That being said, often people will recommend corn snakes to novice herpers due to their ease of care and relative hardiness. Chameleons tend to be much more fragile and have more demanding requirements. If snakes aren't for you, but you want to gain some experience with something a little less difficult to care for, then perhaps maybe look in to getting another type of small lizard that is less challenging, but still holds your interest :)
