I read that you are meant to have a smaller viv for small snakes, is this suitable and how long would it be suitable to keep the snake in?

and i started on bottled water but soon gave up (like a couple of days after) because i cant see or taste any difference and i dont think the snake would be harmed |

as a general guide i got told is if you measure 1xlonger side and 1xshorter side, add them together and thats the ideal size your snake can stay in it, but to be honest i reckon it could be used for much longer than that, corn like small enclosures as they are natural aggrophobics |

It looks the same as the faun Sabai came to me with. He's approx a year and still happy in it. |

I've seen it too but it probably refers to some towns in USA (Los Angeles) where their tap water is not fit for consumption. |

I also read that and asked that same question before I got my first snake.
All mine have tap water :) |

is it also true they should be given bottled water until they are 1? |

46cm + 30 cm = 76cm so it would be fine till your snake is about 2'6" long |

That is one of the better starter sets I've seen. Impressed. |

The faun is here:

I feel it looks like a nice little home to let one grow if i decide to invest. |

sounds like a good little starter kit 
i don't know the dimensions of the E-T faun the kit includes but as a general guide for corns....
length + depth (of enclosure) = maximum length of snake
(but this is just a guide) |
