it all depends, just like any animal it need proper attention from cage cleaning to handling and feeding. I would recommend trying to learn a little about owning them as a pet so you know its feeding times and how to handle/care for it. Remember they do tend to get very large so you have to be prepared for that as well and know it eventually will happen and you need to be able to accommodate for that. Just a tip never hold a snake during its shedding period they tend to have blurry eyesight from this and may end up biting you by mistake also i wouldn't recommend handling it after feeding.

It depends what kind of snake you mean ! Most of the 'harmless' species are relatively easy to care for - but venomous species require 'specialist' knowledge !

It's not particularly hard, per say, but it is very time consuming.

How do you remove retained eye caps from your ball python?

I had to do this a couple of times with my python. Unfortunately if it does not loose it after the second or third shed then you must remove it yourself. What I do is spray him down with some water then take some tweezers to it. Its hard to do and the snake gets agitated however if you don't want to spend money its your only option.
