Oh, bother...

I went to the reptile rehoming centre, as recommended by Ceiron. Just to have a look, you understand....
And came back £130 lighter, with a complete terrarium.
Chap there was trying to interest me in a Cali King Snake...
*Ever so even tempered, just shed, lovely tempera....*
as the snake sank its teeth into the fleshy bit by his thumb...
Now...there were maybe 10 young children there, all asking *Hey Mister, does that hurt?"
I'll give him his due....it took him 10 minutes to get the little beggar to let go, and drew a lot of blood. He never swore once.....

Oh, and to go with the tank....

Meet Barley and Oats....two corn snakes.

erm, erm, erm,

really wants to say something ...............

Ah, what a worthy way of spending £130 quid though

Love those snakies!!!

Yes?

I think the chap with the embedded king snake did as well...

Welcome Barley and Oats,pretty snakes.

oooohh they are nice

The trust is currently *babysitting* a 20+foot long anaconda. He showed me the scars on his arms where it missed when he fed it....10" long, and *deep*
He feeds it dead piglets.....
It's a monster.

Ceiron.

This is the setup I have:-



It came with woodchip substrate, but I intend to change this for paper when it needs cleaning.
I'm thinking the guard round the light is a bit wide for hatchlings, so I need to sort that.
Other than that, in your opinion, is it okay?

Oh, and do you think it was worth £95, all in, including stats etc?

thats what i was waiting for.lol

thought u might get the hint.lol

what themrostat is it ?

and perosnally i would ditch the red light and use a normal spot bulb

ditch the wood chip as u say.lol

put water bowl in cool end and put at least another 3 hides in, two in each end for each snake.

theres pros and cons of keeping two corns together my onyl advice fi u do is to never ever feed them together in the viv.

if u get two snakes on one mouse u will be in trouble, look how long ti took to let go of a bite :S

erm and yeah seems ok ish, maybe a bigger water bowl.lol

for 95 quid its ok depending on what thermostat they gave you.lol

i always tend to get bargains, hehe

and inever been bit in ten odd years, im so biding my luck.lol

p.s. i would lose the door lock and just get soem rubber wedges.

Right!
Chappy recommended the red light as being a spectrum that is not visible to herps, and which would not be annoying/dangerous to the albino.

The 'stat is a Living Earth HabiStat dimming thermostat.

I'll re-arrange the hides tomorrow...currently the little devils are hiding under the newspaper...I'll give them time to settle first.

I'm thinking of feeding them seperately, out of the viv, in a tupperware container.

The lock is mainly there to prevent my Mutt from nudging the doors open...and she *will* try And besides, it came with the tank

Just realised...I ditched my straight cut shredder last month for a cross-cut! Bother!
