Check out Surrey Pet Supplies. There prices are very good. A Habistat Matstat on there is just under £20.
I'd personally ditch the shed aid as you don't know if it'll be needed,most corns have no problem with shedding. If theres a Dunelm close to you,the artificial plants are good and cheap from there.
I notice you have a drinking bowl and a paddling pool on the list. What exactly is a paddling pool?!
Theres no hides on the list,are you planning on making your own from bits round the house? |

If for a hatchie...
Id's ditch the paddling pool and drinking dich and just get one small ceramic one you can put hamster feed in or, a big plastic coffee lid jar top. They only need the one water thing, and will often try and squeeze in their water dish anyway if they want to bathe, or ore common, to poo in! You don't need shed aid either and I wouldn't get substrate for a hathie as there poop will be hard to find! Also avoide exo terra plants I would, my hatchies broke all 3 of mine!
Also, what you man by starter kit :P |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Bit worrying that they aren't selling any kind of heat source! But it sounds like the right kinda price for a starter kit including snake though. Am I right in guessing the snake that comes with teh kit is a normal or, maybe if a bit "luckier", anery, snow or amel?
My hatchies set-ups were like
tub - £3 (not very nice tubs to look at though!)
Heatmat - £10
stat - £35 (it's a pulse so more expensive than other stats you can get for like £25!)
digital thermometer x2 - £3.50
I am quite a cheap sod though :p hides were loo rolls and those kiddy cereal boxes, substrate loo roll as you cannot see any babies poo on aspen! Also never bought them any hides as I didn't see the point as they would only lst a year at best and I rather splash out on hides taht are swish when they are fully grown. You can get normal hathcies for like £5-£15 and a tad more for other common morphs from breeders.

Sorry I ramble, I''m a bit of a devil for a bargain and being cheap hahah |
