Hi guys, well there were issues with my hatchling corn and the shop I bought it from, they were not qualified enough or knowledgable enough,and sold me a corn that wasn't feeding.i have returned the corn and since visited a reccomended reptile shop and bought a lovely 4 month old female Carolina,(for half the price I add),with feeding and shedding records. I have noticed a difference immediately, the snake is more healthy looking, more active and I'm hoping it grows to be a lovely adult,just wanted to share my story with u guys and say that it's a must to buy your reptiles from a reputable source with records!!
Cheers, matt. |

Cheers guys,thought it was worth a mention, the shop I got my corn from also had records stuck to every individual rub, and trust me there must have been 150+ rubs. I'll definately be returning there for my 2nd corn...! |

Glad your story had a happy ending :-) proper husbandry is so important its the first thing i noticed in the place i bought eddie from was that each snake had its own record attached to its rub and they have a strict policy of making sure each hatchling has had a number of feeds sheds and poops before being sold
unfortunately some places are not so ethical really glad to hear you got a happy healthy snake now :-) |

I just hope the one u returned gets the care it needs, it's a shame really as this could of happened to me, we looked at getting one from a shop an tbh the shop was good and the workers there new allot about reptiles but I did some research and the main thing I got told was records fortunately this shop did not have any so I walked out, looked around for breeders and found one not to far from me, this guy was organised he had all the feeding and shedding records on a sticker on each hatchling faurn, he even had a sperate section for the non feeders and made it clear that they where not for sale as he was hand feeding them, at this point I did not hesitate and purchased Fluffy, in the short time knowing this guy the respect I had built up for his honesty, I am sure there is shops out there that will have records but some times the minority spoile it for the majority. I will shut up now lol |

Absolutely agree. It's not like you were buying a bag of crisps. Glad you got the matter sorted out and happy with your new pal. |

you're so right, you do definately need to check up on feeding and shedding before bringing home etc to make sure your new friend is healthy and happy |
