Yeh I think I'm gunna recruit my boyf in making some hides but I've seen some great ones in shops (although expensive) and as its my first corn I'm all proud mummy at the mo and only want the best for my baby!! (think that might have to be put on hold due to bank bal!!!)

People have suggested toilet rolls but they're open ended and wouldnt a corn want something enclosed so it feels safe?

I was thinking buying a cave hide then using toilet rolls for the rest? or maybe a little cardboard box with a hole in it??

If you are not too concerned about how pretty it all is (the snake really doesn't care!) you can use almost anything!
The baba corns I have are using a loo roll cut in half lengthways to hide under (they are on aspen, so they can dig under that too) with one end against the side of the box.

I've been collecting easter egg boxes too (the smaller ones) and plan to cover the plastic bits taken from in the easter egg boxes and cover them with tile grout, or paper mache (however that is said or spelt!) just as something to put against the back wall to climb on, coz they are all lumpy and bumpy

I've also seen people use twigs from outside and string to make little ladders and climbing frames, i'm tempted to have a go at that too!

So personally, I wouldnt buy a 'starter kit' because they are well over priced. Id get a list of everything you need, then shop around

how much was the snake?

COuld you send me the links of all the equiptment (except the snake)..

Coz thats cheap!
