Well I will say this...just be the very fact that you recognize your own personality and are questioning whether a snake is the right pet for you is a great first step! A lot of people, both teens and adults, don't care one bit about that and it's all...I want! I want!...and nothing about what the snake needs.

Do your research well. There are a lot of different kinds snakes out there and if you look at what level of care you want to do and that snake requires, how much a certain snakes attracts your interest in looks and temperment, how much that snake will cost to maintain, it will all help you make a really informed decision.

Researching before you buy is probably one of the best time savers, money savers, stress savers and life savers (for the snake) that you will ever do. Starting this thread is an excellent first step and welcome to the forum!
