First of all id like to say hello to everyone,

Getting my first corn tomorrow, cant wait

the guy im getting it from is a rescue and thinks the snake maybe 2-3 years old.

My little girl was holding a corn the other day and after seeing here with it i had to buy one for her.

Gonna call her Garfield i think, (not sure if its a boy or girl)

Can anyone recommend some good LED lights that i could use and where to buy from?

Also if anyone can recommend a supply shop for me, not bothered about ordering online but im in Bracknell near Reading if that helps

thanks alot

At the risk of being accused of earning a commission or boosting shares, I can recommend the Ledberg LED strip from IKEA. I have 6 sets fitted.

I knew it wouldn't be long Auld
The white ones are great lights but if you want lights that you can change the colour of they do some called dioder. They are more expensive but at night look great.

Cheers Mick, that was the link I was meant to post
I did it from my phone when I was out and when I first found it I thought bugger I just payed £30 for mine and they are only £20 online. I should look a bit more carefully next time, at least I know now I payed the right price

No problem mate, even at £30 I think the effect you get is well worth it.
