First find a partner of legal age who is also interested in breeding.

Chip has a great write up here: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126082
I would also recommend reading through many of Nanci's stickies in her subforum: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=112
I have only bred once so far and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but my two thoughts for you to consider are that I am glad that I started with a baby corn snake and grew her up to an adult before jumping into breeding (so I had three years of experience working with corn snakes and spending a lot of time reading about them) and that the babies do not generally sell very quickly. It took me about 8 months to sell all my babies from the one clutch and I obviously had to feed and house them during that time.

First off? You need a boy snake and a girl snake of the right age/size/maturity.
I'd suggest getting ahold of Kathy and Bill Love's Cornsnake book. Other than purchasing snakes that I wanted to eventually breed, that's where I started. After that, it was a lot of morph research.

I agree! Most likely you won't find adults of the morph you want to breed and you will learn about caring for babies before you go make your self 15-20 and get stuck with them for longer then you think. Read, read vms.com also has some good article on there site. If you decide to start with adults at least try get a project that you want to do and not what ever snakes you think will work. I wish you all luck in the world have fun and know that if you not careful you will have more snakes then know what to do with before you even know what to do!

Find another breeder in your area and make friends. They're loaded with information and a potential source for stock and supplies. Their experience can save you a lot of mistakes. Find a local reptile show and shake some hands. They're friendly!
Breed what you like, but realize that not everyone else will like what you do. Expect it to take a lot longer to sell your offspring than you think.
Don't even think of doing it for the money. It isn't worth it, and you aren't likely to make any.
Go slowly. It's easy to get overwhelmed by growing too quickly. Guilty! :wavey: Know your limits before you invest too much time or money. You want it to remain fun, not become a chore.

In addition to the above, look into what morphs people are actually wanting to buy. Choose adults that won't just make a bunch of normals and basic morphs with each other.
