Corn owner to be!

Corn noob
Hello! I've researched all the basics and think I'm ready! But just had some more questions I can't just Google.

What is best to buy? I looked on Kijiji and found someone selling a 1.5 year old male with his cage. Is this a good idea or no? Would it be ok to get this guy but buy a new cage so he sort of knows he's moved? Or would being in the same cage not really matter and be less stressful? I'm probably just over thinking things.

Is starting with a 1.5 year old good or should I get a younger one?

Thanks! =D

Sorry if I should have saved my questions for the other topic areas...
 
I just got my first corn a couple days ago but so you can judge my comments on that. I love getting pets when they are young or as as soon as they can be detached or independent form their mother for a simple reason, it makes them feel more secure about you.

So personally I would just go out a buy a new hatchling seeing as this is the season for them and you would have a great choice as to patterns and colors. I'm not saying forget about the older corn, rescues are always nice, but it's only if you are truly looking for a snake with which you aren't sure of it's past (living conditions - handling - sickness) but those could also be resolved by simply meeting with the ''seller''.

As far as my experiences with a corn goes, I'm glad I had the choice and a professional breeder nearby but that might not always be the case. I would recommend adopting a new-born corn as a first time owner, just so you don't have to deal with past issues with older corns.
