I think I have found a new morph! A Climbing Homing Corn.
2/3 days after feeding I let her out of her Viv, to stretch and go number 2, she goes like clockwork.
The room is circa 14x14ft and she lives on the dining table, which is surrounded by 4 chairs. I have lived here 3 years and have never eaten at it ha.
So I take her out and put her on the floor, with the doors shut she has nowhere to go. She invariably follows the edge of the room, has a look under the sofa and coffee table and will then number 2 within 10 mins. I know when its coming as she stops still for 20 seconds and raises her tail, at this point I slide kitchen roll under her.
After this she sets off to the dining table, where she climbs one of the chairs, back on to the table and in to her viv. Sometimes she will climb the tv stand, but usually only for a few minutes before going back to find her viv.
Is she particularly talented or has anyone seen this before!? |

I'm impressed 
The thing that impresses me the most is that you have got her "toilet" trained more than anything - I have had my pyjamas christened, the walls of the viv, the decor, you name it (and she gets out every day she can). I couldn't let mine out like that as she is in the bedroom and I have a huge built in wardrobe. And she is only 19" long! |

| Hiding when you are 5.5ft long is much harder! |

| That's really impressive I would love to be able to do that when slink is older and bigger but the house I live in at the moment has way too many places (holes in walls) for her to hide in and I doubt I would ever see her again lol also that is amazing that you have yours trained like that I imagine it saves spending loads of time checking all around the viv to see if she has poo'd :D |

That's a seriously well trained corn you've got James....you need to tell us how you've trained her so well  . They are amazingly good at climbing....as you can see from this pic of Asher....
....and Kellog....
All of mine get 'free' range of whatever room I decide to take them into, usually the lounge....but I'm always within grabbing distance and most of the time I'm either stroking them or just resting my hand on them, to remind them that I'm there and they can't make a run for it .
Now I just have to sort out the toilet-training. They usually do it when they're out of their vivs, but also when they are in the most awkward positions for me to 'catch' what comes out  !
