Heat pads are good for nocturnal reptiles such as leapard geckos. I've used them with no trouble at all. All reptiles that like underbelly heat will enjoy them. They can be not so as effective if you want a Decent heat throughout the cage though. It's like if you were standing outside in the cold and you were on heated flooring, you would still be cold. Other hear sources are generally better for all round heat but as I said, I've had no issues using them with geckos.

Others may have a better answer...

Corn snakes are the best beginner snakes. They are very tame even when wild caught as adults,, they always eat well either live or frozen/ thawed, they are very tolerant of temperature and humidity errors (though you should still do your best to provide optimum set up) they come in a wide variety of morphs but even the "regular" have nice patterns and colors and they are pretty inexpensive so you don't invest a lot of money in case something happens and you don't decide to keep it (which is very sad but I see it way too often) Ball pythons can by iffy, especially some morphs that look pretty but have neurological issues and they are not as tolerant of mistakes a new keeper might make. Royal python is the same thing as a ball. Milk snakes or king snakes are another good choice but they can be more aggressive and some species are just not as easy they also eat other snakes and I have seen people mess up that way too! I always tell people to start with corn snakes.

Occasionally I come across a really easy to understand guy that knows what he's talking about. You are one of them. :)
Thanks so much!

Ok. You will need:
A tank ideally with a rimless top

Plants. Ask your lfs what are the easy ones.

Some substrate(I use kids plays sand) make sure to thoroughly rinse it though.

Some fish. A small amount to start off with. Depending on what size tank you decide to get.

Some plant fertilizer. I use Tropica fertilizer.

You may want root tabs for long rooted plants to help with growth in the sand.


Let me know what else I can help you with.
