welcome along Scott.
equipment is good and very reasonably priced from www.surreypetsupplies.co.uk.
as for buying the snake best place is me :D. not sure what shops you have in Falkirk but would recommend a jolly across the kincardine bridge into Dunfermline to serpentus exotics best shop around by far. |

| depends what size of corn snake really. Adults 3ft would be fine. Hatchlings are suited to fauns. Anything inbetween you could use smaller vivs and upgrade as it grows |

Hi and welcome theres one very important thing everyone seems to forget to tell you when getting a corn. And its really important. And i think u should know. They are really addictive and u will never end up with just the one. Once u see the babies people get next season you will want all of them. Let alone the ones u see that people already have that you have no chance of prizing off them.
Gd luck thou |

| Welcome to the forum. Kids, eh? See, what will quite possibly happen is that the kids will have one each, and then, after a while, you'll be wanting one for yourself.. and so on, and so on. I'd have lots by now if I could... very addictive. |
