How big will he grow?

[kellyjones]

Today I called into my local pet shop to get some more pinkies for my corn and I fell in love!!!! He has got a beautiful Snow corn. He says it is about 4 years old. It seems to have a great temperament from what I could see while me and my girlfriend handled him. My girlfriend has offered to buy him for me (you can see why I am marrying her in September !!!). As he is alot bigger than my 9 month old corn, I was wondering how much bigger he will get. At what age are corns fully grown? I want to buy a viv that is going to last him for life. How big should I get? (In feet please not gallons). Any help would be appreciated as I am hoping to get him and the viv tomorrow (if he is still there and if the shop is open as it is a bank holiday here)

At 4 years old, he is probably as big as he's going to get. He might grow a little, but nothing significant.

I would suggest an enclosure that is at least 2.5 to 3 feet long. That's about what a 20 gallon long tank is, I think.

Thanks Peter and thanks Kate. I just hope he is there when I go and not been sold already

a 2'x1' floor area will be enough for a full grown corn. at 4 years the snow is prob full grown.
