Hi All,
My name is Jonny, and I live in N.Wales.
I have always wanted a pet snake since being a nipper, but only now (several years later) have I took the plunge.
We have kept tropical fish for donkeys years, but over the last 3 or 4 years we ran down from 5 tanks, and breeding etc to just one tank, and finally shut this tank down a few weeks ago.
My daughter and I were looking at the empty tank, and discussing what to do when she mentioned snakes, so we did some research, and converted the aquarium to a vivarium.
Finally we were ready and last weekend we brought Syd our corn snake.
Even though we had done our homework, and knew they were escape artists I over looked a hole in the hood (which used to house the electrics for the lights) so when we got up the next morning she was missing. A few hours later she turned up again, and a simple modification later she is safe and sound.

Hi there,
I am not 100% sure of the morph, she was sold to me, from a local reputable specialist shop, as a bloodred, and over on "Ian's Vivarium" website in the diffuse section is a picture of a bloodred that is identical, however, being a total n00b to snakes I am open to all opinions.
I the fish keeping world there is a thing known as multi tank syndrome, so I guess it is a similar phenomena with snakes too

| What a lovely snake! Definitely looks like a motley of some kind (could possibly be a bloodred motley, you need to ask Eeji that one lol!) |

Hello and welcome. We have 5 fish tanks and 3 vivs! Just upgrading my vivs to bigger ones, so I will have some empty soon. Wonder what I could put in them :)
Good luck with your snakey. A stunner :)

I think it was from Tesco, but probably not in current range as I have had it a while. I am XXL, so I know all about the probs of finding good tees that fit well
