Hi I got my corn snake starter kit from www.bluelizardreptiles.co.uk it was about £50 and has every thing you need for a hatchling and there vivs are a good price too.

LeBron? whats that from? my cat love watching Kellogs in the viv, but loses interest when she is out, but she is not really a hunter, can put snake on floor/bed when she is about, i just keep a very close eye on her, she even headbuts the snake in greeting lol
louise1302 Posted - 08/08/2012 : 00:14:23
we took a trip to a localish exotic petshop and they quoted me 40 for a hatchling(tiny and bloody fast!) and 50 for a faunarium setup including substrate and food for 1 month does that sound fair it was warrington pets and exotics if anyones interestd lol. beginning to think just for speed a yearling might be better haha. dont mind paying a little more for the faun/viv to look nice because LeBron as said snake is alrady named by my 3 yr old is going to live in the lounge

what are cats like with snakes lol i have a 7 yr old tom called Slash :)

Hi and welcome, hatchlings are good to watch grow but they can be rather flighty and fast for a while

Hi and welcome, looks like you have all the advice on set up costs,
All three of mine have been hatchlings and it is great watching them grow,this will meen expanding homes as the snake grows so this increases the cost, it also leaves empty homes that then need filling, beware this is so good it becomes highly addictive.

OH was not interested in reptiles now she is nearly as mad for them as me, if you are going to cure your hubby then a corn snake is a great way to start.

i only got a snake because of my 7 year old, i have fallen for them big time and highly recommend them as pets, we now have 2 !
Bill our smaller snake is in a rub which cost £17, and has cardboard boxes tubes etc a dish for a £1 from the charity shop so you don,t have to spend bucket loads ! welcome and enjoy

Hi and welcome sure hubby will be 'cured' fast!

My 3ft setup cost: Viv- £45 (seapets), Heat mat- £10 (shop), thermostat- 25(seapets), digital thermometer- 2.75(eBay), Aspen- 4.79(petshop) and hides/bowls decor is randomly sourced from household items/charity shops etc.
Plus the cost of your snake!
I got my set up sorted ready for the snake before they came along, this why I managed to sort out the temps properly and could make sure there were no problems!

As others have said, set up costs can vary depending on what you want. Some one here has a great set up for a one corn at a bargin price of £45 if it's still available: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25180

I have 2 of these vivs (terrariums) and have 2 month old corns living in them. Seeing as the vivs cost £35 each new the deal above is great. As for snakes, buy from a breeder and you are looking at £25+ depending on the morph. In a pet store you are looking at £40+ as they need to make a profit.
