I wanted to change my ID ;3; So here's a picture of me and my first snake, Noodle!
He's now a little over 3 years old and has grown a shitload haha =u= He's a normal ball python as well, for anyone wondering. My girlfriend and I have 12 snakes total. 8 ball pythons of various morphs, 2 corn snakes, a texas rat snake and a boa constrictor!

Corn snakes are fantastic first snakes! They eat like pigs, are very docile, and come in a huge variety of morphs. Their care is super basic, they have virtually no special humidity requirements and easy to maintain heat. They're a little fast moving though, which is why you'll find a lot of people recommend ball pythons over corns for temperament for a first snake owner, but as far as care goes corns are way easier!
If you have reptile experience, then you might consider a ball python as well! They have more specific heat and humidity requirements, and they can go on feeding strikes or refuse food if their enclosure isn't adequate. But a lot of them eat like pigs. Out of our 8, only 2 of them pose issues when eating every once in a while. But it can be pretty stressful if you aren't used to a snake fasting for 2 months haha. Try to find a good breeder that gets their babies on f/t before selling them, that'll help assure they end up being good eaters :]

This is great to know, I only have experience with my beardie and a previous green iguana that was a total a*hole. We had to teach our beardie how to eat veggies, he was already 2 years old and was only fed superworms with kale as a treat v.v I really wish more people would do research before buying. I really appreciate your reply <3
I've cared for a beardie before as well! If you knew enough that they need veggies regularly then I'm sure you'd be perfectly capable to handle either corns or balls! ;3; I agree, caring for reptiles is one of the things I'm really passionate about so I'm always happy to see someone who also appreciates doing research! You're welcome, and best of luck! =u= <3
Nope, not really! Their emotional processing parts of their brains aren't complex enough. They only really feel instinctual emotions such as fear, discomfort, and defensiveness. They do gain a certain amount of trust for humans in general though, and some large species of snakes (burmese and reticulated pythons) can sometimes recognize their primary caretaker. But for the most part, snakes are just too dumb for complex emotions!
