Hello I'm Nate

Hello. My name is Nate, I'm Canadian and I'm about to be a new Corn snake owner. The snake, the tank and necessities were suddenly given to me by a friend because she couldn't take care of it and had no where else to go.

The snake is about 2 years old and a little less than 5 feet long.

I have never owned any reptile before in my life but have always been interested in any and all reptiles. I know this may be a daunting task for me to take on suddenly having no prior knowledge or experience but I have been reading a lot about the care of corn snakes and have a general idea.

The problem is I keep reading mix-matched information. So I thought I'd turn to experienced snake owners for some helpful advice before the snake becomes mine today in the afternoon.

Here are the details of what she is giving me:

30 gallon tank
1 hide
1 heating lamp(Over Tank)
1 Water bowl
15 gallon "feeder" tank

From what I've been reading this seems to be the bear minimum of what a corn snake should have to live. I have no idea if the snake is healthy or how she takes care of him but this is what I have.

I would like to know what you guys think of this setup, if I should get more things, what I should be doing differently ect ect. This would be very helpful to me, and I just want the snake to thrive and be as healthy and as happy as it can.

Thank you. I can also post this thread somewhere else other than the introductions.
