Ok, so I've got everything I need except a stat for the heat mat and a digi thermometer - I'll pick them up in next few weeks, before I get my corn.
What I'd like to know is how did everyone on here start themselves up for their new corns? Can you all tell me, if you don't mind sharing?
Thanks |

Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes. |

We've got our corns in RUBs as well, and use unprinted newspaper for substrate. We went to B&Q and bought plastic pot trays for hides, and use ceramic water bowls from Wilkinson (the hatchlings have the same except kitchen roll substrate, smaller pot tray hides and glass tea light holders as water bowls).
We always leave any new electric equipment (mat, stat, etc) running for at least 24 hours so we can pinpoint any faults early. |

Unfortunately I had the reverse problem. The snake arrived first in a bucket proffered by a chap who didn't know what the hell it was, but only that it was trying to get into his house.
I'm a member of the NABU, which is a German national wildlife organization, and I'm responsible for any stray exotics that people may find in the local area. Hence the man with the bucket.
Luckily I had a spare aquarium I could set him up in temporarily before setting up a final viv with statted heat mats, hides and the like.
I now have emergency equipment for any future surprises. |
