Can a person get salmonella poisoning from snakes?
No- snakes are venomous, not poisonous. Venom is only dangerous if it directly enters your bloodstream, so snakes are mostly safe to eat. Some snakes may actually be poisonous, usually the brighter coloured ones, as a defense against predators and not a method of predation. But just like with any animal, snakes can still cause food poisoning if improperly prepared, or if the meat is tainted.

Adder - UK's only poisonous snake, very common.
Grass Snake - Very shy but fairly common.
Smooth Snake - Only found in dry heathland in Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire. Very rare.

Yes, they are friendly. In fact, I've actually had one myself. You may not want to take one from the wild because it may have a disease. I would recommend picking one up from your local pet store. They can range around 50$.

I had a hungry Ball Python and I dropped a mouse in with it and it wouldn't touch it. The next morning the mouse gave birth and my ball python still wouldn't go near it. Tonight I tried to feed my king snake a mouse and my snake ignored it, even after I trapped the mouse within inches from my snake.

To swallow - a couple of minutes. To digest - about a week.
Depends on how big the mouse is compared to the snake. A small meal could be swallowed in under a minute and take a day to digest. Average-sized meals can take 10-30 minutes to swallow and take 3-7 days to digest. A very large meal could even take a few hours to swallow and take several weeks to digest.

What is force feed lubrication?
Force feed lubrication systems are designed to accurately deliver, monitor, and protect oil delivery to pumps, compressors, or any other critical equipment. A system is usually comprised of a divider block which automatically directs the oil to several points, a lubricator pump to deliver the oil under sometimes very high pressure, and a computer to monitor the flow of the oil, to give totals, averages, alarms, etc. For example a reciprocating compressor may need oil delivered directly to the piston area itself. This would require generating enough oil pressure to overcome what ever gas pressure may be at the piston area. Sometimes several hundred to a few thousand psi may need to be produced by the force feed lubricator.
THere are a number of sub-species -most of which are native to Asia, India, China and Indonesia. There is also at least one North African species, and several species in the Southeastern united states.
Sounds like a ringneck snake, they are completely harmless and some of the most beautiful (in my opinion) of the North American snakes.

How much does it cost to get a snake and all the stuff it needs?
It's not that simple !... Apart from the physical items needed to provide a safe, secure and roomy enclosure for a snake - you also need to know essential information such as the humidity, temperature ranges, what kind of substrate and cage 'furnishings' to use - as well as the correct food animals (and frequency of feeds) for the species.
Oh - and the name of a reputable vet close to where you live - and someone sensible who will look after it if you go away on holiday !
How do you set up a corn snake viv?
Basics... Secure (preferably wooden) enclosure - that's big enough for the snake. It needs to be at least half the adult snake's length on its longest side. for a corn snake - that's 36 inches long x 12 inches deep x 18 inches high.
The vivarium should have a substrate that's relatively easy to clean - such as sterile bark chippings (available from any reptile shop). Don't try to crate your own by using tree branches from your neighbourhood - you don't know whether there's anything harmful living in the wood - or (more importantly) what's been sprayed on it !
You need a few small branches to provide something for the snake to climb on, so it can regulate its own body temperature (again available from a reptile shop).
Depending where you live - you may also need an artificial heat source to maintain the snake's natural temperature range. This should be placed towards one end of the vivarium - to provide a temperature 'gradient' - AND needs to be controlled by a thermostat.
Additionally - two 'hides' - one at each end ov the vivarium. Snakes are mostly secretive creatures and, while it's nice to be able to see them all the time - they need to be able to get away from people and feel more secure in a hide box. These can be made from ply wood - so long as they're large enough for the snake to fit inside comfortably.
