Hey everyone
I'm new to the snake/reptile scene.. actually I'm not even on the scene yet lol. I've been thinking about getting a pet snake recently (my first one) and I can't decide between a corn snake and a ball python. Ball pythons are adorable but corn snakes seem easier to care for. I don't want one that's too large or too small (somewhat thick but still on the smallish side at adult size would be nice), and I definitely want it to be friendly. I've never actually handled a snake before so I've been thinking about volunteering at a reptile rescue, but the only one I found on petfinder that's not too far from where I live has closed.
I don't want to rush into getting a pet snake (they are such awesome-looking animals though!) but I can't think of where else to get used to handling/caring for a snake. I've been compiling care sheets and facts but I feel like I should also get used to handling one before buying it. (I'm afraid I'll drop it or hurt it out of nervousness. Or is it even possible to drop a snake? lol everyone seems like such a natural with snakes.
) Does anyone have some suggestions? Am I being too paranoid?
