Thank you all for the information, those were really fast replies, LOL.

I went ahead and found a couple snakes to start with. I felt I could handle two because I can afford it and have a reasonable amount of animal care experience.

I got a Ball Python, really sweet little guy, 3-4 months old.
I also, after doing research, got a Columbian Redtail Boa. It is a female, (was probed by a vet), however, she seems relatively smaller for her age/being female. I was told she's a yearling.

Any feedback on my choices would be great, and I do plan on posting and asking plenty of questions.

Also, those care sheets are awesome resources, thanks for the link!
