Does this kit have everything I need?
I was looking at things I needed to buy and came across this. Zoo Med Snake Kit
Does it look like there's everything needed for a baby corn? Besides food and a tank obviously. It would be wonderful if it had everything. Thanks ahead of time.
By the way sorry for seeming like I don't really know anything about snakes :P I was more into wild animals until about a month ago. So I don't know much about pet snakes, but I do know quite a lot about snakes in general.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
I have tongs, and I need a thermostat. I didn't know what they were so I looked it up. Reptisafe basically cleans tap water so its perfectly safe for reptiles. Wipeout is like hand sanitizer for before and after you handle your friends.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
Looks alright I suppose, The only thing you really need from that package is the Heater/thermostat. I dont really like aspen bedding and you need 2 hides if your doing it in a tank.
Generic all reptile kits arent always a great choice in my opinion.

You can buy everything in that kit for $10 with a little shopping.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
Kits are generally a way for a company to make more money. Probably cheaper to buy everything you really need separately. Heck the hand sanitizer stuff...I never use anything other than a good soap and water wash, if anything at all. Also buying bedding in "bulk" will save you money in the long run of things rather than buying just enough.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
and why "purify" tap water?? a jug of spring water or distilled water is all of a dollar.

Oh yeah! That is another thing. I don't even use spring or distilled water...just normal tap. Never seen anything wrong with it at all.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
makes me wonder if I should do some sort of test on my local water. But considering the amount of different animals in my home that drink it straight from the tap without worry (including other reptiles) I think everything is probably safe.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
my mom has worked for an eco friendly pyramid scheme type company on the side as long as i can remember (probably before i was born) and they sell vitamins and soap and toothpaste and biodegratable detergents and all this good stuff, and we have a water purifier that costs like $1000 or something rediculous in the kitchen. it is pretty pimpy. i generally drink that and use it for my pets. when you taste the purified water it tastes like crystal clear nothing, when i taste the tap i can taste all the nastiness in it that it purifies out.
id take a picture of it but my camera finally bit the dust this morning. i was taking pictures of a bird shaking itself off from the rain outside my house and when i went to upload the pictures to my computer the crappy connection to the memory stick in the camera finally cut completely. time to earn abunch of money and find a new camera eventually =/ lol

You are fine, in the wild snakes drink from puddles of swill that would make most people gag to think about it.

Re: Does this kit have everything I need?
A few years back some company dropped a few TONS of feces in the river about 10km from my house, my well has been useless since...

Ha ha that is very true! They don't have time to be picky! I have heard of wild snakes drinking pool water before, but I am not sure that is something they survived.
