corn tank set up ques

[Cristina]

I want to get a stand for my tank...when he is fully grown, what size tank will I need?...and can I put him in it now so I can buy a stand that size?

[Demona]

so long as you have enough hides, the tank can never be to big that being sed i think bigger is better I htink i was told that 2'x1'x18" is big enough for an adult, but personally i think that wouild be a little cramped.
I vote 3'x2'x18"

You buying a stand or making one?

I vote 3'x2'x18

Yes, I keep my adult corns in 40gal. Breeders, which are 36"x18"x18", and they could still use some more room. Alot of people say that a 20 long, or a 30 is plenty of space, but it's really not enough room for an active, 4' snake.

I agree.My corns all have 40+ gallon enclosures.My hatchling is the only one in a 20 long because he seemed to stress in his larger one,as he grows I will move him back to the big one.Bigger is better.

He should be fine going to a 40 gal. as long as there's enough hides to make him feel safe.

Most of the caresheets I've read (if memory serves) say that a 30 gallow long is large enough. If you can afford a 40 gallon, and get three or more hides, with a good amount of substrate, then that won't be too large.
