A Few Questions

I am in the process of getting my first corn snake and am setting up its enclosure before I choose a snake. In reading this forum and other resources, I am still left with a few questions:

1. Is a male easier to care for than a female, considering egg binding? Is egg binding a serious issue?

2. Is it recommended to use vitamins/minerals for the health of corns (thinking of the needs of beardies for extra calcium)?

3. I've read a lot of conflicting information concerning tank size. Since I want to get a young snake, I purchased a 18"L x 12" W x 6.5" H Exo terra faunarium to be a starter home. Should I have just purchased a large enclosure that could be its final home? I have read a few accounts of snakes becoming very bothered by moving to a new space.

4. How long do frozen pinkies last in the freezer? Do they come with an expiration date?

5. Are certain color morphs more prone to health issues?

Thank you so much for passing on your knowledge and expertise!
