Mice or crickets.
There is no special age, I have known people as young as 7 years old with corn snakes.
Baby corn snakes (under a year old) should be fed once a week - on 1 or 2 mouse pinkies. Gradually increase the time interval and the size of the food over a period of twelve months. By the time the snake is two years old, it should be feeding on a medium-sized mouse - once every ten days.
A corn or rat snake would be good. I'd go with corn snake. They're esey to take care of, as far as snakes go, and you can likely find one in your local pet store.

Corn snake because they are much more friendly and will only bite if you antagonize them. Even then they aren't poisonous. A ball python on the other hand, is very large and it will squeeze. To them you are just another prey for dinner. So definitely get a corn snake.

No, old myth and superstition.
not very old, but it is much safer to buy frozen mice let them thaw and give it to your snake because live mice can have diseases that frozen mice can not have because of the temperature they are in
They cannot go without a heat source. The temperatures must be consistent or they will die.
at a mature age the snake usually varies from 4 feet to 6 feet long but may be shorter or longer, the snake is usually almost full grown at 3 years. (this is not true, corn snakes can keep growing until they are ten years old!)personally i have a albino corn snake and she is 2 years old and runnin about 2 1/2 feet right now. corn snakes usually stay skinny until around 2 1/2 to 3 years and then gain more girth. good luck =) hope i helped
