For Sale: OT and definitely miscellany: Corn snake hatchlings

Product of an ill advised union between two of my son's corn snakes, about 15 juvenile juniors looking for good homes. They make great pets, very tame and easy to care for, enjoy being handled. Born early July, all healthy - feeding well, pooing and shedding (twice each at least), records available. Father is red albino (amelanistic) with candycane coloured mother (red/white albino), all have attractive colouring some darker red than others. Plenty of help and advice available if you are a novice! £15 each, or £20 to include plastic housing box, shelter, some bedding and water bowl. Just add small heat mat to complete setup. Warning - they can grow to 5'+ in length and live 15+ yrs in captivity if cared for well. As an idea of current size, that box is about shoe-box size. Viewing welcome, collection only, no postage (obviously)!! PM with any questions or interest.

This is very tempting....

are they long enough to make an inner tube if inflated? :D

how many mice does a fully grown adult need a day?

nice snakes, but you do have weird toes im afraid

once a day? You have to feed them maybe once or twice a week. 2 mice costs me £1.80 from the local pet shop, really cheap animal to keep

I feed the adults once a week because it's convenient timing with my kids, depending on how you bring them up some people stretch that to 10-14 days but with larger meals. If you can get 'jumbo' mice (large adults) they are best value and one a week is perfect. Otherwise as Richcarr20 says, 2 normal adult mice. Oh, and you buy them (the mice) frozen, defrost them, serve them.

@ elbee, you're weird for even seeing my toes, but since you comment they are the result of a motorcycle accident, thanks for noticing.

Oh, and at the moment they are up to two 'pinkies' (baby hairless mice) a week but that's still less than £1 a week if you buy in quantity.

Not yet, but way sexier than gumwalls...

One of the more unusual things I've seen on here... :)
Weirdly tempted... Do they / will they bite?

Corn snakes are naturally timid, like most snakes their primary defence is flight (running away not flying - well, slithering away not running). If they can't get away and they are scared, they will vibrate their tail against something to make a noise. If you really really try hard to piss them off you might get a nip but it's never happened to me or my kids, and they don't have much in the way of teeth anyway.

I'd love to let a couple of these loose in my house. It would feed the snakes and control the mouse problem at the same time. Sadly I'm not allowed pets in a rental property.

Price drop to £15 each + box if required.

what I read....

Any left? How much did you spend on housing them?

Yep, 12 left, getting bigger by the day. What do you mean by "How much did you spend on housing them"? As above, for £5 you can have a box suitable for keeping one for the next 6 months at least, all you need to add is a small heat mat for under £10 from a pet shop dealing in reptile stuff.

Ah sounds great, I was just wondering on how much I would have to shell out on a tank. Where are you located? Also could you suggest any stores in london to buy a heat mat from?

You won't need a tank for a few months in fact small snakes don't like big tanks, but when you do between £40 and £70, depending on size and style. I'm in Waterloo SE1. The two shops I know are Crystal Palace Reptiles and King's in Camden. I'm sure there are others but those are my sources for the mice, they sell all the stuff too but I tend to buy that from eBay.
