hey guy's i am collecting my first snake 4 month old Butter (pictures on photo thread) from the pet shop week after next and was wondering what type of Viv/faunium to get for her that is right size so as to make her feel comfortable and also be escape proof. I've read on here alot about hudinhi training up a new batch of escapist's and any advice or links to products would be great

Cheers in advance

Most vivs are escape proof, but it depends on the clumsiness of the owner and the brilliance of the snake as to if you get an escapee or not

A four month old should be alright in a faunarium for the time being. I get mine from Wilkos for £4.99

here is i picture of the viv setup i got i'm going to get one more place for her to hide. and one more plant.
the cd is for size reference but it's just a 2ft viv really.
the guy said to sillicon seal up a bit at the top of it but that should be hard. i know this is probably a stupid question but do i need to do anything with the glass as i got a lock for it wbut could a four soon to be 5 month old corn fit between the plates?

My 6/7 year old corn fits betwwen the glass plates on my viv, i have a bit of doubled over cardboard in the gap.

My glass plates are about 8mm apart though.

Howdy, You are getting that butter Corn from Ben correct? If so I saw the snake and it is unlikely to get through that glass gap mate. Put the snake in and watch it. It will most likely explore its new home including the gap between the glass. If he can get his head through it they say that the rest of the body will follow. You'll be fine. That a cracking little snake btw. Good luck with it.
