cheers for all your replies :)
i've managed to find a reptile shop that's getting a load of new mexi blacks in next week or the week after so i'll be buying one of those instead. i can't wait!! they're beautiful snakes!
lee, are they pretty much the same to look after as corns? if it's a hatchling i guess it'd need to be in a shoebox type tub? i have a spare 1.5foot viv in my room, that'd be too big right? :\ |

| I bought an exo terra viv, pinkies and some other bits from them last week. The viv was broken and the pinkies were defrosted, which i think was down to the courier. They replaced both no problem so i would buy from them again. |

| seems to be a very common problem with 888 but they always seem very good about it, it must cost them a fortune in replacing stuff though!! |

| The first delivery was through tnt. Was told it would arrive between 7 and 10 am. It turned up 3.30 pm, no wonder the pinkies had defrosted. The 2nd delivery was direct from 888. The driver said that they never argue, if the client is not happy they will do an exchange. As you say gingerpony it must cost them a fortune but at least they are helpfull and that makes you go back to them again. |
