Welcome! I think you should consider blizzard corn snakes!

I definitely have! But they are a bit to pricy. The deal was my parents would by the snake and I would pay for everything else.

I also have questions about setup. such as, What is the ideal setup as far as tank size, hides, and climbing structures?

Now that you've read the FAQ, many of us stay away from UV lighting. Many of us have no extra light on the tank (viv) at all. Your snake needs darkness at night. Many of us use undertank heaters with a thermostat and have at least a warm hide and a cool hide. Fresh water is essential and should be placed away from the heater. Fake vines and plants provide additional hides and corn snakes will climb on them. Aspen or other safe bedding provides more hiding places. Never use pine or cedar as bedding (aka substrate). There is more, but these are some highlights.

Thanks so much! I think I am as prepared as I'll ever be. Is petsmart an okay place to buy my corn snake from? If not, is there a preferred breeder that I should use?

A 10 gallon is adequate for a baby corn ... When they get bigger a 20 gallon long should be adequate how ever a little bigger won't hurt. Just make sure you have a screen top that is secured as snakes are great escape artists.. 😀

Petsmart and Petco are a bad place to buy animals. They tell you no information about the animal. Often they are under fed and maybe even sick! The employees fill you up with false information. Many people on this website buy online. Most of the time there isn't a good breeder in someone's area.

Hi Gusku ... again!
I know ordering a snake on line is not what you want to hear, but sometimes it's the best method. There are many more snakes available to you this way, instead of hoping Petco has something you may like, or something you'll have to settle for. I got mine from South Mountain Reptiles and the breeder has an excellent reputation. There are many breeders that frequent this forum.
As far as ... "I also need help getting my mom used to the idea." .... you're on your own!
