Snakes are fascinating creatures and can make great pets but there are some considerations to be made before you commit to owing one.
Snakes can live for a very long time, often over twenty years so be prepared for a long term commitment.
Make sure you are willing to feed prey to your snake. Some food such as rodents are already dead and pre frozen but there are live options to consider such as bugs.
Ensure that your snake tank (vivarium) is escape proof. Snakes are persistent and will look for any small gaps which to squeeze through.
For your first snake don’t buy something large or venomous. Something like a grass snake would be a perfect choice.
