As I only have 7 more days to go and now down to single figure countdown I am starting to get very anxious and hope I have everything.
The viv I bought is 2nd had as the guy in the shop wanted £350 for the full set up a bit steep I thought  and that was doing me a deal lol
How long should I have it set up for before Neo as we have decided to call him arrives ?
Also do snakes get territorial if they smell another snake as I am aware that I will have to give the viv a thorough clean but will it unsettle him if he smells another snake?? does that sound really mad
Also Neo has been sharing his 3ft viv with 2 ladies will he be lonely when he comes home I am not sure how long he has been sharing ??
I am so sorry if these are particularly ridicolous questions think my mind is now going into overdrive, I didn't stress this much with my kids

set the viv up maybe the evening before so the heatmat etc can get up top temp and you can play around with the stat to get things just right... I am not sure about them being territorial but would def disinfect with a reptile safe cleaner to prevent any cross infection.. He will settle in to his new viv in time...
he won't be lonely i can assure you, snakes generally only seek company during the breeding season, the rest of the time they are solitary.. |

Wow that des seem steep. I have a 2 viv stack that ist less than that!!! I have a couple of second hand ones. After a good disinfect with f10 or dettol solution should remove any traces of previous occupants . He will be better off alone.
As for setting it up. The longer is running empty the better really. But couple o days should be fine. To check all your temps are ok etc.
Can tell someone is excited!! No sleep for you for the next week

it's exciting!!!
i'd set it up as soon as you have the chance, then let temps settle and stabilise, you could post some pics on here for any advice, then it's all perfect for when he arrives 
and i agree, he won't be lonely, he'll have all the best spots in the viv all to himself  |
