Hiya
My snake was not an impulse buy, just wanted people to know that. I have wanted a snake for a long time, then a close friend got one and so I spoke to my hubby and we agreed. So far its cost me and extra £40 to put it right, so I still would have paid the price to get what I wanted. By Tuesday all will be well. I can't wait to hold her, 5 days to go.
Thanks for all your advice and comments. |

I wasn't saying it was an impulse buy, I meant that shops keep the price low enough for impulse buys. I don't blame you I blame the shops, they shouldn't be allowed to do what they do. I'm actually glad you wanted more information because without it who knows what could have happened.
You do realise it is 5 VERY long days to go, its torture, and you get to take lots of pictures and post them on here. |

Hi,don't beat yourself up about not knowing about the stat. I too was sold a kit with no stat or temperature gauge and was told it was everything I needed.
Luckily I've had bearded dragons and chameleons in the past so I knew I needed these things.
Makes you wonder how many people out there have got reptiles set up wrongly due to the lack of information given out,its frightening.
Good luck with the torturous wait. |

Glass is fine in the meantime :D mine as yearlinsg were in a glass viv although now that I know they could crack I would never use them! I do know what you mean about cats though, ours are always knocking stuff and sitting in places they shouldn't! I got caught out by petshop info too :( they never mensioned a stat and I got given rubbish themeoters. I didn't reserach as I trusted teh guy who was selling me them, didn't know it was wrong until like 10 years later XD
It's hard not to touch them! I wish you luck resisting the urge lol. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

also thought that i should mention that its not only the shops, its also some vets, i went to 1 to ask for advice b4 getting my snake and as a direct quote: `all u need is a place to keep it (a viv), a heat mat, some substrate, a place for it to hide and thas it, its that easy` and thas what i was told by a vet.
also forgot to mention that i have 2 books on keeping snakes - 1 of which is specifically for red rat and corn snakes (by jerry g. walls) and they didnt even mention the need for a stat |
