I wouldn't personally recommend one as a first snake.

You're better off getting something like a corn snake or king snake if you've never kept snakes before.

I'd suggest doing some research at your local library BEFORE getting your first reptile - there's hundreds of books on reptiles which will give you some basic knowledge on caring for a snakes needs.

Is it hard caring for a corn snake?

I have two corn snakes, and they are very easy for me to care for. However, I have cared for Carpet Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, Rosy boas, Sand boas, Garter snakes, and many more, so what may be easy for me might not be that easy. Corn snakes are great beginner snakes (a corn was my first snake), but like any pet require commitment. You must clean the water dish every day, have locks on your at least 20 gallon reptile cage, use an appropriate bedding that is changed at least once a month (not cedar or pine, I use aspen or cypress bedding). They require handling to tame them down, and a weekly meal of appropriately sized mice.


What is the most popular pet snake?

The most popular pet snakes on almost all polls and lists the corn snake and ball or royal pythons. Both species are non aggressive, easy to keep and make good pets (with the proper set up). They would be followed by king or milk snakes, hog nose snakes, boa constrictors, carpet pythons and rosy and Kenyan sand boas. improvement/edition: I was told that a good snake for a child such as 10 years of age and up, is a rat snake. I love all snakes! They really fascinate me!


Do boas burrow?

Some do. The sand boa (all subspecies) is a burrower along with Rosy boas and some others. The Red tail boa (which is probably what you're thinking of) is semi arboreal to arboreal and does not burrow.
