 im looking for a good corn snake starter kits and i found this one at the leaping lizards york website which i think is quite good value but i want some different opinions. so, here it is:
x1 carolina corn snake
x1 exo terra plastic faunarium
x1 heat mat
x1 thermometer
x1 water bowl
x1 bag of aspen bedding
x1 hide (ive got one already)
x1 plastic plant
x1 corn snake care booklet
x4 pinkie mice
for about £80 which i think is quite good with the snake included but what do you think? p.s. i'll get a stat seperately. |
1 dog-indie
3 cats-martha,meow and pippin,
1 corn snake -Topaz.
4 chickens - Psycho, Dutch, Alan and ownage

doesnt look too bad, but check to see what type of thermometer you get, if its the dial type or the strip they are naff, you will be best getting a digital thermometer, you can get them on ebay quite cheap.
But it all depends on the size of faun etc as there are no pics of the setup on their website.
are there any breeders near you as the corns from shops are generally expensive, and may work out cheaper buying everything seperate, |

Like Gmac said, you would need to make sure that if it wasn't a digi therm you got with it, then you would need one. You would also need a thermostat.
Edit: Is the other hide you have the big home made wood one? Because i don't think that would fit in a faunarium. |

If you mean thermometers, then thats a pretty bad decision. There a necessitiy. Especially since most dial ones are mounted on the wall so don't even read the temperature from the right place.
I have 4 digital thermometers, one for each of my snakes, the oldest being bought in december and i still havn't needed to replace the battery, so they can actually last a while.
Plus its not as if the batteries cost much, There about a pound each but if you go to poundland you can get this big pack of cell batteries which has 4 of the ones the digi therms need (Going by exo digi therms). |

That's not bad. Maybe price up the things separate and see if you can save some bob. Though to be honest, I think that is a pretty sweet deal. How much do they sell their snakes on their own there?

A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Ah yes but the OP said he'd buy one seperately, so he's not completely forgot about it. The starter kit itself isn't too bad if it labelled itself NEED THERMOSTAT otherwise if its selling itself as "Complete starter kit" like my local does without a stat, then it's not great IMHO.
