Hi Saar Saif I’m Sahrahsahe here are some basic things you need to know~

>Baby corns can be kept in ten gallon tanks but when older should be put in a larger tank
>Adult corn snakes will do very well at temperatures between 75-85 F (25-30 C). They will tolerate temperatures as low as 70 F (21 F), but at this temperature they probably will not eat very well. Baby corn snakes prefer a temperature slightly warmer in the 80-90 F (26-32 C)
>Hatchling corn snakes should be fed one to two pinkie (newborn) mice per week. As the corn snake increases in size, the one to two mice per week should be increased in size proportionately. The mouse fed to your snake should not be so large that it makes a huge bulge in the belly of the snake. If a food item is too large, the snake will have problems digesting it and it may be regurgitated. It is much better to feed two small mice than one big mouse because it will be easier for the snake to digest the smaller mice.

Hi Kayleighb Brunner who’s Kathy Love?(complete novice here)
Kathy and Bill Love are breeders that have been keeping and breeding corn snakes since the early 1970’s. They have done quite a bit of "research" on the species, and proven out several morph genes. Kathy Love has selectively bred her own line of "Okeetee" corns that are unique in their appearance.
But they are not the only experts when it comes to corn snakes. There are many breeders like Don Soderberg...Link and Rich Z. at Serpenco Link
So search the web, read everything you can get your hands on about corn snakes. If you have the opportunity, go to a reptile show or breeders expo. Ask lots of questions.
One additional note; for babies it is perfectly healthy to feed them one pinky every 3 to 5 days. A good rule of thumb that I use is after the "lump" in their belly is no longer visible, give them a day or two and then try feeding again. Then you can increase your feeding interval (add more days between feedings) and slowly increase the size of the prey item.
