Hey,
I'm living in Leeds atm and was wondering if anyone knew the best place to buy a hatchling or a fairly young corn snake around here?

i like the guys at Paws for Thought on York Road, it's not the cheapest shop but it's certainly not the most expensive either. the guys there are great and know their stuff, and when they sell you a starter kit it DOES actually come with a thermostat!!!
(a lot of other places sell cheaper starter kits but with only half the blinking equipment you need!)

T-Pets down Kirkstall Rd is ok, i don't go in there much because i just prefer PFT, some interesting species to look at but never much for sale

Rothwell Pets is a nice little shop, not a huge reps section but the owners are very rep-orientated and VERY knowledgeable

further afield:
Pet Depot in Cas i personally avoid as the last few times i've been in the vivs and reps have been in awful conditions. i've even had words with a member of staff about a royal i genuinely thought was going to die very soon - and i wasn't scare-mongering, i DO know what i'm on about!
i think Leaping Lizard in York seems to be going downhill too

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

Yeah, I was going to buy my starter pack from Paws for Thoughts without a doubt it seemed like the best deal. I will have to check them both out and see if their is any I prefer.
Thanks a lot
