Hey everyone,
my name is Debs and I am new to this site.
I've never been part of a forum before so not quite sure how it works so bear with me!
It was my 25th birthday on Tuesday and for a long time I have really wanted a pet snake. I have spent a long time researching care and breeds etc and in the end decided as a birthday present to myself to get a Corn Snake. I choose a Corn Snake due to their good nature, manageable size, beautiful markings and through learning that they are a perfect "beginner" snake.
I went to a very reputable shop in Plymouth and handled all of thier baby corns that were all in perfect condition. I decided to go for a very pretty and calm Snow Corn Snake. She is absolutely beautiful with pearly pink and white markings and shiny red eyes. I say "she" but she is too small to sex yet, but I'm gonna stick with she for now :)

I have attempted to post a pic above but not sure if it has worked? :/
If it hasn't please someone tell me how!
Anyway please come and say hi would be great to meet more snake keepers to exchange knowledge and stories

Hi and welcome!
Can i just double check you have a Thermostat for your heat mat. Most pet stores dont tell you the important things!
