Hi everyone i'm new to the reptile communtiy and my boyfriend is an old timer. We recently moved acrossed the country and had to leave a lot of stuff behind. so as a christmas present i want to buy him the stuff to hatch corn snake eggs and everything that goes along with it, i was also looking for a good book thatwould help me learn so that i can surprise him with me helping, except i have no idea where to start.
So any help would be so much appreciated.
Thanks

Sometimes, but they're god blessed helpful quite a lot of the time.

If you really want to impress, go with the books, read, learn. Get into those things as much as he is. They'll likely take up a lot of time and you'll have a better time if you love them, too.

Edit: There must have been a deleted post I didn't see. SEE?! PPl here aren't as buttholed as you might think.

thanks for the help but where can i get the kathy love corn snake guide? and i've gone to chapters and they have none and won't order any corn snake books, nether will blacks, and the library has none so i'm kinda relying on the internet and any sites that i can find, but i'm scared of bad sites which i why i'm asking for help.
And yes he is planning to breed he is into genetics and wants to see the possible color throw off. i really like his snakes i've jsut never been around them before, i'm a cat and rodents person.

so any good informative sites anyone know of??

Reptile Incubators has incubators for a decent price, or you can build your own with a styro foam cooler a jar of water and water tank heater that they use for fish. It is very easy to make your own incubator. so many sites have info on how to incubate eggs, what temps humidity and stuff like that..
