Hey there snake lovers.
Just popping in to say hi and introduce myself.
I'm Alex, my wife (Jules) and I are about to get our first snake, and we chose a corn snake to start with. We have a set up and the only thing we seemed to have omitted is a thermostat, but aiming to fix that as soon as possible.
This is fulfilling a dream of mine that I've held for nearly 18 years. When I was but a nipper, a family friend showed me it's pet milk snake. Since that point I've been enthralled by snakes, lizards and most things cold blooded. My dreams of a serpentine pet were for naught due to my Mum who couldn't deal with the idea of dead mice in the freezer. My wife, thankfully, is less perturbed by frigid fluffies in the freezer and so now I may fulfil my youthful goals.
Our new lovely will be joining a small collection of tropical fish (including a betta splendens).
Aside from my fascination with snakes, I'm also an avid coffee lover and am the co-owner of a pop-up coffee shop in Northampton. I also (attempt to) play bass guitar and have a deep fascination of nearly every facet of technology.
So that's me...
Expect me to ask inane questions and be neurotic over every thing possible about raising our snake.

Many thanks Kehhlyr. I suspected something of that description but wasn't sure.
