I know of several people that have large numbers of corn snakes but have rarely heard of anyone having large collections of other snakes. I know some poeple with large collections of Royals. Do any of you know of anyone with large numbers of snakes other than corns and if so what are they? Or are only corns addictive?  |

Nah it's because they are a bit boring, the people I mean :P They know that kings are too awesome and kewl for them and are scared that royals will eat all their green vegetables. And only the badly sighted get hoggies, they think they are ducks, true story. |

I have just spent the morning moving furniture about in the living room. Might have to get a vertical radiator put in though, lol, this normal one has a large sofa in front of it now. I have two double stacks being made and had a sneaking suspision that if I jiggled things about I would be able to fit more stacks in. And what do you know, I do believe I can  . Two triple stacks if my bits of cardboard were the right size. |

I would say snakes in general - we've got 1 corn and I am trying to decide what to get as a second as there are so many morphs I would like... but I'm also really tempted by hoggies and house snakes now as although we've decided we're only having 2 corns, we'd have space for one of those as they don't get so big lol!! |

The thing with corns is theres loads of morphs out there and although you can say theres a lot of royal morphs theres a MASSIVE difference in the price of corn and royal morphs.
I find it very difficult to just have one of a species lol,I have to have at least 2 of each for some reason.....work in progress there   |

If you're in that area, I would strongly suggest that you pop into Coldblooded in Rainham. It's a seriously good shop, and just down the road from Hornchurch....
got to admit cold blooded is good for corns but glen and jamie at jungle phase are better for their royals |

I know someone who has quite a big collection of Boas, he doesn't even breeds them, just likes them, think he has over 20 of them.
Also Terry (bladeblaster) has a large collection of carpets, but he's a breeder. |
