[@WilburtheDachshund]

I'm curious witch snake ( hognose or corn snake ) would be best to get for a inexperienced non-snake owner like me. My mom has a fear of snakes so I think hognoses look cute and would not be as scary, but corn snakes are less expensive. Ps: I also live in a colder place ( Wisconsin ) and am wondering if one snake would be better for the colder, dryer climate.

[@RockyRoad7]

I recommend a corn snake. They are very friendly, widely available, and great eaters. Hognoses can be very picky eaters because they eat toads in the wild. Hognoses are also mildly venomous. Because you live in a colder place, you'll definitely need to use a ceramic heat emitter or heat mat (with a thermostat) at night during the winter, regardless of which species you choose. I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions

[@awesomeanimalswithalishav5874]

I'll second the corn snake. They're really good for beginners. Most people's problem with learning to care for snakes is learning to get them to eat, and since corn snakes are so good at eating that makes things a lot easier. They're fairly tolerant of not perfect conditions as well. The one I had got loose for half a year and was surprisingly fine when he was found (tho that was in Southern California, so it was mostly warm). Not sure if you're set on those specific types, but garter snakes are good for beginners as well. They're small and cute and eat a variety of food. My SO is afraid of snakes, but even he was able to rescue our garter snake because she was so small when found she looked like a worm. Not sure where in Wisconsin you are, but since Snake Discovery is near Minneapolis, Minnesota maybe you can make a trip over there and see what they have available at the store. They can probably help you pick out a mellow, friendly snake that will be a good eater instead of trying to get one at a pet store that might not be a good choice. Just be prepared with a tank and everything if you do that though since they don't adopt them out if you don't have the correct setup yet.

[@WilburtheDachshund]

Thanks for recommendations! I will take this in to consideration when getting a snake!
