I'm new and ready to learn!

I think It's great to know there are people interested in answering all of my questions!! I really just want to thank you guys for helping me out. I will do my best to make a good decision regarding every aspect of my new hobby. I am a firm believer in the fact that the only way to do something right is to be as knowledgeable as possible! Again, thanks so much!
 
well good luck finding your first little corn snake !! :) keep us all posted and please share pictures when you find one you love.
 
Got my new snake!!!

His name is Rick! He is a classic baby. I did get him from petsmart. When I held him, he was very attentive and seemed very used to handling. He had eaten the night before and I do not see any shedding issues. eyes were clear and I feel like he is really healthy! (Not sure on gender) Got him set up and he is busy exploring his new home! I will add picks when I figure out how.
 
Congrats. He sounds like a great little snake. Welcome home Rick!

I think classics are awesome and their belly checkers are so beautiful. Can't wait to see pics once Rick is acclimated.

Congrats! Pet stores are not always as bad as people say. I work at one and all of our reptiles come from reptiles by Mack, a very reputable breeder that many people on this forum have bought from. I'm glad you're happy with your new little guy :)

Bella came from Petsmart and she is gorgeous, healthy and growing like a weed the only thing I have against some pet stores are when they have people that don't know what they are talking about giving people bad advice!! When I got Bella they for one told me she was a garter snake, which I knew better but they also had no Belly heat for her, had no idea how old she was or when she ate last!! I think I just got a less than perfect employee but who knows, she also told me to feed her fish lol

Oh wow. If it WAS a garter you could feed it fish, but I hope that's not what they were feeding her. My garter came from my workplace, and she hadn't eaten in months because she wouldn't take pinkies and they didn't know garters eat fish. They even tried feeding her crickets. So glad I came in and not only got her eating, but took her home.

Having a small dilemma. I know they need heating pad, but mine gets unbelievably hot, The side with the heat lamp is upper 80s, side with nothing is 75. I have the temp probe in the substrate. so not air temp. Am I ok?
 
Those temps are fine. You should go on amazon and get a cheap thermostat for the heat pad. The hydrofarm ones are really good and are less than $30.
