Hello Everybody!
I am new to the site today- (the pics are beautiful!)
I don't have a snake yet- but *Fingers Crossed* I'll be bringing one home on the weekend!
Many Thanks in advance for your help/advice and support!
And I'll hopefully have my own Snake pics soon!

hey and welcome
best thing to do before you bring your snake home is too read the care sheet, it has all the important things on that you need to know, http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm
feel free to ask any questions, we dont bite and nothing is deemed silly or unimportant  |

Welcome to the forum Skorps! You will find that this is a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Not sure how much research you have done but I would advise the following:
1. Very early advise but important, when you get your snake you need to leave it for a week to get over the stress of moving to your house and let it settle into its new surroundings by leaving it without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way it gets used to your smell.
2. Am sure you have already read the care sheet on here (http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm), as HannahB suggested. It has lots of information for new snake owners. Also read this topic on 'Your 1st Snake' http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133
3. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. When you do get your snake you need to get as much info about it as possible....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog poos!!
5. Unwritten forum rule (bit early for you at the moment) - pics as soon as possible!
Am sure you cant wait to get your snake. But I will warn you that corn snakes are addictive.....and yes, the majority of us have stood up, said "hello my name is **** and I am addicted to corns........! And I am proud of it!" You havent started down that path yet so be warned!!
