personally id start with a lil faun starter kit. because in a year to 18 month you will need a bigger viv and the fauns are £10 each so you will save 50 to go towards the adult viv. plus to get everything u need for the full faun set up it works out about £70. u dont need a mat and basking light. just the mat will do on a stat of course. if it was me id would start with the faun then get a nice adult viv

Agree there's stuff you don't need for a hatchling but that size viv will do an adult corn.

I reckon if you bought the viv from seapets and sourced your stat mat and hides online youd probably half your spending or near enough a 3ft viv on seapets 43 quid brand new habistat mat stat ebay 23.19 heatmat around a tenner then you just need hides and substrate

I don't get why places sell basking bulbs and a mat, you only need one. You can do like a hatchie set-up for like £50.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

probaby cause they want to exploit new hobbyists and make as much money outta them as possible untill a few months down the line said hobbyist discovers theyve been grossly minsinformed ugh

You would be better off with this for a hatchling...

http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/productdetails.php?ProductID=2623&ProductGroupID=1287

A 3ft viv would be ideal for when it grows up. I was planning of getting vivs from www.seapets.co.uk , and the mat, stat and decor from www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk . These have the best prices I can find for new stuff....

Yeah they will, im not to sure about their prices but it says live stock to UK mainland 8.95. Also there is to consider if youd rather handle the animal before buying so you are completely happy. after all its not just colour with animals there are things like temperament and health to consider. I was going to order a snake offline but for the reasons above I didn't. although im sure it would all turn out okay.
