Hello, welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of snake keeping.Originally Posted by viennae
You've definitely found a great place to learn.
Here's my two cents: Be EXTREMELY careful using YouTube as a learning tool. Choose very carefully what resources are trustworthy. Any moron with a snake can post a YouTube video.
Don't get me wrong, there are some great resources on YouTube, but it's tough to filter through all the rubbish.
Even within the internet as a whole, including this forum, it's easy for anybody with a keyboard and an internet connection can post whatever they want.
Find reliable, experienced keepers and breeders to learn from and you'll be in good shape.
You've gotten some good advice above, so keep learning. Read, read and read some more. Because to be honest, the hours of research you've done is a good start, but barely scratched the surface. The more we know about our pets the better we can care for them.
Try to read about their biology, their behaviors in nature, etc...not just care sheets. Care sheets tell you VERY little about the animals themselves.
Good luck, ask all the questions you may have, we're happy to help.
