it's best to find a breeder in your area, and stay away from pet stores. you could look online for a breeder, but the cost of the snake compared to the cost of shipping makes that difficult. check around online and see if you can find a breeder, or try a hit a reptile show around you. shows are another way to get a corn, you can see all the different morphs offered, handle them, and then pick one you like.

and a 10 gal is plenty big for a corn until it hits about 2.5 feet. alittle rule of thumb i use is the tank has to be at least 2/3 of the total length of the snake. a 10 gal is usually 20 inches, so a 30 inch snake would be the max in a 10 gal. sound good?
