This forum is such an awesome resource. Whether you're just developing an interest in snakes or you've got 20 years experience there's always something to learn. And the community as a whole is fantastic.
I'm not sure where you're located geographically (might have missed it if you mentioned it) but if you're in a warmer climate things will be less challenging.
I know for myself, in MA, the New England winters can get cold. So artificial heat in the house makes humidity more challenging, but I just make some adjustments a pay a little closer attention.
So much of what I've learned through the years is trial and error. But starting out its important to stick to basics. Go with what works, learn your animal and slowly start tweaking things to find what works best for you and your animal in the long term.
