Arrow -waves-

How'dy! From the uk!
New to this forum...(o.0 im not a spammer...) New to getting a snake very soon! Im not a noob to it though, have done plenty research, also had to look after a friends snake for 2-3 months (including feeding!)....

Can't wait to get my own snake though, most beautiful, interesting reptile i've seen! o.0 Family and a few friends are like...why dont you just get a hamster or a rabbit... I'm like: 'EEWWWWW no! >.< they're smellly...'

To the point anyway! hoping to look at other snakes, pictures and just really get to know other information about snakes that you generally don't from a breeder (rather then the main caresheet stuff? you know what i mean)

Awsomeness peace-out!

Re: -waves-

Thank you for all the kind welcomes:

Well i only know of one good breeder on Glouster Road, Bristol that sells Amelanistic Corn, Bloodred and the Caramel (morph).... I would like to explore my options but cause i got a friend that knows him quite well im going to get an excellant price on one.....although I would love and prefer to get a Charcoal.... (_._ im so indesisive!)

If you know of any excellent Retile stores in bristol PLEASE dont hestitate to let me know, im kinda reluntant to go to a mainsteam pet shop such as the "Reptile shop" near to Filton college, as i would prefer (as this is my first corn) the baby/adolesent to have been handled and fed ok...

Re: -waves-

Reptile zone in filton is excellent, i know wat you mean about some reptile shops but they are not like that at all. All of my snakes, and vivariums, have come from them. They are great people to chat to if you want advice also.

I was in there about ten days back and they had a load of baby corns too.........

I would have no problem personally rtecommending the shop to anyone, they are also the place that the RSPCA takes abandoned reptiles to for rehab so obvoously have the trust and faith of that organisation.

Let us know how you geton.

Re: -waves-

Hello and welcome to the site. I myself would always recommend getting your first snake from a good reliable and trustworthy breeder. If Rob is gauranteeing this shop though i would try it, but you cant beat a top breeder for price, quality and care and service IMO
