So...

Thanks guys! I actually want a BP and a corn! I need to start with one snake first though and get my husbandry right. :) I like the freezer idea! I didn't think about Craigslist!

i have both, but started with beeps. after i got my corn snake i couldn't believe how goofy and easy to care for they are. caring for a corn is a breeze after keeping beeps for almost 3 years. i love them both!

I had a corn snake years ago and I thought I was a snake expert. Thank God I found this forum, because I would have done everything wrong with my ball python. Their care basics are the same, but overall they are so different to care for.

Maybe I should start with a corn and get a Bp later?

If you are going to get both, then yes...get the corn first. More forgiving husbandry and will eat for you no matter what.

That's what I was thinking:D And since they don't need as much humidity would they be okay in tanks instead of tubs?
Edit:I figured out how to get an avatar!

That would be fine.

Could I start with a 20gal if it's cluttered with fake plants and hides?

For a baby corn what size tub is best? Also how would you heat a shoe box sized tub? I'm looking at tanks more than tubs but I want to know about both :)
