Welcome to the forum Dean! You will find that this is a great forum with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also get lots of fun and friendship. We are a very friendly lot on here, as you have already found in our welcomes!! I am not sure how much information you already know about corns snake keeping, so sorry if I am repeating information you already know...but it is better heard twice than not at all.

Hopefully you know the one-week no handling rule. When you get your snake you need to leave it for a week to get over the stress of moving to your house and let it settle into its new surroundings by leaving it without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way it gets used to your smell.

Read the care sheet on here (http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/corn_snake_care_sheet.htm), lots of information for new snake owners. Also read this topic on 'Your 1st Snake' http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4133

Remember that no question is regarded as a silly question.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!

When you get your snake I hope you get as much info about it as possible....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even note when Kellog poos!!

I am surprised you havent already been told the unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible! This link should help you with that....http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14

A warning - corn snakes are addictive.....and many start with one and go on to get more, while those of us who only stay with one watch jealously!

So glad you have now got her Dean, and it sounds like Lightning is a perfect name for her!!

Cant wait to see pics of her once she is settled in.
