Time to move house

Hi

My son has a corn, that has been growing like a rocket on the Munson plan. He is currently housed in a 20 x 10 x 12 (ish) faunarium, and has been for 4 months since we had him. however when he arrived he was only about 3/4 the length of his enclosure, he must be at least 1 1/2 as long now.

What I need to know is at what point should he be upgraded to a new house, and how big should that one be. Ideally I would like to only move him once into his adult sized viv, however will do more than one move if it is recommended by the experts here.

Food wise he recently moved from 2 fuzzies to 1 hopper every feed.

Any pointers gratefully received. :)

Cheers

Hi, I recently moved my corn from a faun to a new viv. I went straight for a full size viv, 36 by 18 which is large enough for an adult. My corn is 20 inches long but i have plenty off hides and plants in there so it doesn`t get stressed. I think you will be ok putting yours in a full size viv.
 
General guideline is that the snake should be able to stretch the length and width of the enclosure.

I'd say the minimum size tank/viv for an adult is about three feet long x eighteen inches deep. If you're going to put a very young Corn in one of these, make extra-specially sure that it's escape-proof. They've even been known to lift weighted-down lids on glass tanks, and squeeze between the sliding glass doors on front-opening vivs!
 
thanks for the tips, looks like we are going off to the herp shop this weekend.

cheers
