Hi All
Thanks so much for your advice in the last few weeks. Sydney is loving his new Viv. My wife and I have had an amazing sight of seeing him shed last week, never thought we would catch him shedding
I have been enjoying him so much that my 5 year old daughter is now handling him and feeding him too. Great to see the kids showing interest.
Just a quick question - in the near future, we are thinking of getting another for my daughter. I have thought, instead of getting a new hatchling, we were thinking of adopting from the RSPCA / or reptile rescue centre, is this a good idea?
Many thanks
Dan |

Thats great you caught him shedding , remember to check tail tip and eye caps are in the shed, not retained.
YES!!!!!, its a great idea to get a rescue snake, so many need a new home.
Since for your daughter, depending how young she is, an older corn may be calmer. |

Ok thanks, I think my closest one is the rspca in Brighton, will try them first.
They have so many snakes on there website, I was shocked just how many have no home!
Take care

| Ooooh, have a look at North Somerset reptile rescue Facebook, well worth visiting. The lady that runs it is a vet, and all the animals are vet and parasite checked, and quarantined. |
