Well I've had Sydney my hatchling for a month and tomorrow i am off to pick up a 3yr old Carolina corn. Wish someone had told me how addictive these things are. Am actually contemplating doing away with the fish and chickens.......

Similar to here. Argument was "we don't have enough space". I said we could get rid of the fish tank to make space. I only had one fish in it any way (eater problems). Re-housed that with a friend. Sold tank on eBay. Hope to get snake this weekend

As far as i know they will still need a settle in period of time. it may be her viv, but the scent of your home is different to what she is used too. Also might be a bit of shock moving her (being tossled around a bit)

I got Karuza in her viv (same one she had) and put my sock in with her. She is used to my scent, not threatened by me.

I have 2 within the first 6 months, and I'd still have more. I lost one fish tank and add my second. I'd love to sell the 6 foot tank to add a book case for more viv/snakes but the husband he says no. any ideas how to get round him?? (and I've tried the first one you think of but that also self punishment)

Other ideas welcome


Three corns, a dog, a cat, 2 kids and a future husband, Yes its a MAD HOUSE in leicester area.
