Hi again Emily,

as far as I know we have grass snakes, adders and slow worms here in the UK. I myself have only been a snake owner for a whole month! there was a new reptile shop opened in my town, so popped in with my daughter to take a wee peak at what was on offer. He let my daughter hold a tortoise if she held a snake, and we kept pooping in every now and again. he was doing an offer or a corn snake and set up for £100, and i was tempted! BUT had by then seen the ball/royal python he had and had made my mind up to get one. after a lot of research and thinking, I bought one from the gumtree add service, and got the set up stuff buying from forums and online. I really want another soon, maybe a boa! I still pop into my local reptile shop, to get frozem nice, and the guy there is very helpfull indeed. I gave him a spare plastic tank I had bought with some bits, because I kinda felt bad not buying from him, he lets me see all the snakes in his collection and we have become mates!

sorry to bore you all, thats my snakey story!
