New member interested in keeping snakes as outreach animals!

Hi there friends, I'm worksnake and I'm new here. I'm piloting a program at my workplace in hopes of making my soon-to-be new corn snake a model ambassador and outreach animal. I worked a bit with a California kingsnake in grad school around education and outreach and was inspired to take this to the next level by starting my own project here in Vermont. So even though technically I'm not brand new to caring for a colubrid, this will be the first snake that I alone am responsible for keeping. Any advice about husbandry, behavior, handling, and especially thoughts on corn snakes as outreach animals is appreciated! Looking forward to getting to know the culture around here and learning more about Pantherophis guttatus.
