Hello, would just like to ask how I go about buying a corn snake (a hatchling preferably) from this forum? Of course I could buy from a reptile shop but I would just like to know how possible it is to buy online.
I live in Essex although my dad said he could drive me anywhere to pick it up (I think he is more excited than I am!)

Thanks!

As with any forum, you have to chat with the seller - no 'add to basket' button here lol
The email thing doesn't work too well I believe, so you can ask whoevers baby you are interested in for their email address. Then the both of you work out times and payment etc - a few of my babies have gone to forum members

Thanks! Do most users sell their babies then? I don't want to be rude and be interested in one that isn't for sale!

It doesn't hurt to ask!
There is a 'for sale' section that most people pop them up on when they are ready

Quite a few have got either hatchies or eggs at the moment, so hang around for a few weeks and there'll be loads of pics!! Then if you see any you might like, just ask the forum member if they will be for sale once feeding etc (I believe Herriotfan will be selling some of hers and she is posting hatchie pics currently - I hope she doesn't mind me saying!). There are a couple of others in the Essex area as well who will likely have hatchies a bit later on and have sold on here before.

I don't mind you saying at all smart bunny.
My little ones will be for sale once they've had their first shed and have got a good feeding record (4-5 feeds) and can toilet ok.
Well what goes in must come out!!!
They will have a full history and will come as tame as I can get them from handling every day, apart from the 48 hours post feed.
It's also possible to meet their parents.
I'm sure there are members on here that can vouch for the love and attention all my pets get!
I do live in Essex if that helps...near Saffron Walden.

If you arrange and pay for a reputable reptile courier then yes.

I have a simply SPLENDID little snakey (inky)that I bought from Figs-so yup,buying from these lovely people is fab
do be aware that you may end up having slightly odd 'additional exchange arrangements'on top of the usual sterling....somehow or other I've been persuaded to provide 'human sized cake' next time I'm blessed with a little Figling
