Possibly Getting a Corn Snake
So my mother and I were looking on Morphmarket and she loves the Corn Snakes. She likes them so much we might actually get one soon! We sent an inquiery about a 2017 Anery hatchling that is 100% het for Motley and Albino(Amelanistic) and Pos het for Diffused and Hypo! I had some stuff around my house and so far I have a
-16q tub
-Paper Towels as substrate
-1-5 gallon Zoomed heat mat( Covers 1/3 of the tub)
-Jumpstart Thermostat
-Acurite digital thermometer
I still on or two Probed thermometers :)
Please tell me if I am setting up wrong or if I need other supplies!

Breeding in the far future is a possiblility :)

Gotcha! Then go for it!!
Corns are fun. I personally have moved on from corns, they're just not a species I want to keep any more.
They are much more flighty than BPs and constantly on the move. Juveniles are quick and I'm just not into the constant hand-over-hand movement that comes with handling them, especially juveniles. That being said, I'm not aiming to discourage you, they are beautiful animals and most who keep them love them. They're just not for me.
Make sure your enclosure is ESCAPE PROOF, they are masters at escaping and when they're that small they can fit ANYWAHERE. I lost one this way a while back and haven't really forgiven myself. Also make sure to keep a CONSTANT hand on them when handling because they can and will take off on you and are super quick and like I said can fit ANYWHERE.

Re: Possibly Getting a Corn Snake
Also the ambient temps in my house are around 70 degrees. They go up to 72 but usually are 70. Is this a problem?

my bedroom sometimes gets to 72° and i haven't had an issue, but my room only gets that cool in the evening. i think mid-seventies is what they prefer. i'm no expert so maybe someone else can give us both some insight. :)
