My little corn is about 5 months old and currently lives in a 20 gallon critter tank. I plan on purchasing an animal plastics cage for him after the first of the year. Would a cage measuring 48 x 24 x 15 be to big for him if I put ALOT of hides in it? I want to buy what he will spend his lifetime in. Thanks for your advice. connie

Just see the truth
Sounds good to me Connie but you could check here http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/tipsandtables/l/bltanksize.htm
They say an adult could be housed in a 20L or larger.
Good Luck :santa:

Get the AP, they are worth it.
Connie, if this is the only snake you plan on keeping or plan on keeping a very small collection, the AP cages are great. I understand what you mean about getting a cage that is too big because it can be stressful on a hatchling to be in such a huge cage but if you put plenty of hides around I think he/she will be fine. I am a true believer in giving my snakes plenty of room to move about. I use the 41qt (approximately 3' x 1 1/2' x 6") sterilite boxes for my corns and black rats. Some of the bigger black rats get the big 90qt sterilites!

As stated above, the secret is HIDES and TEMPERATURE (I'll add water, too).
You could house a hatchling in a 150 gallon tank, and as long as the hides and tempurature kept him feeling safe and secure, and you had several water bowls, he would be fit as a fiddle.
After all, how many 10 gallon aquariums do you see in the wild
