I have a cornsnake, and I have minimal things in their tank, but everything needed for a cornsnake. I do want to upgrade the things inside the tank, though, like a small branch for her to climb on because shes always climbing around the top of her tank. Anything that I've tried to put in her tank before aside from whats already in her tank has ruined her scales causing them to lift and fall off. So I'll look for better things that won't cause this lifting of her scales.

Happens a lot with exotic animals. Guinea pigs are a great example. People get Guinea pigs for their kids when they assume they're easy, when they're actually very high maintenance and not fit for little Timmy to take care of, and most of the stuff they make for them at pet stores are very unhealthy because no one gives enough of a shit about these high maintenance turd dispensers to take good care of them. They're extremely fragile, and perhaps most crucially, most do not enjoy human interaction. They hate being picked up, and touching them threatens them, most (not all, but most) just prefer to be left alone by their owners. Because of that, little Timmy gets bored of their Guinea pig after a week, and most either die of malnutrition or are given away to overcrowded shelters.

Heat mats are not a good heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xYuAwGRqrKOZq6A

A lot of people say you can house your corn snake in a 40 gallon (36*18*16-inch) enclosure it's entire life. For averaged sized 4-ish foot male, you could get away with it, but the bare minimum isn't it's happiest life, and large male a 5-ish, 6-ish foot female will simply get to big for a 3 foot long tank. For an adult corn snake, I'd highly recommend at least a 67 gallon (48*18*18) enclosure. Keep in mind you can always go bigger. There's no such thing as an enclosure that's too big, that's a stupid myth.

I do enjoy the natural look, but for the beginners who are looking to get their first setup: I myself prefer plastic, non-porous decorations for hygiene purposes, especially when it comes to hides or water dishes. I tend to be conscious when a wooden hide gets fecal matter in it (especially as the snake gets bigger and those poops begin having larger water content), or when fecal matter is left by the snake in an unglazed water bowl. The only thing natural is the substrate, but that gets replaced and spot cleaned often. With my level of tank hygiene requirements, I started hating the fact that I would buy wooden hides and wood branches and be left unsure on long it'll last. Could be six months, could be one week.

Way too small, there's a few bullshit sources say you can house a corn snake in a 20 gallon enclosure, but anyone who says that are either high off their asses or really need to reevaluate how they keep their reptiles if they're house a 4 foot, 5 foot, maybe even six foot snake in an enclosure that's 2 and a half feet long. 36*18*16 (40 gallon) enclosure is the bare bones minimum for a corn snake that stays under 4.5 feet (an a large number, especially females, will exceed this length), and you should always get a bigger enclosure if you can, perhaps at least a 48*18*18 (67 gallon) enclosure. If anyone tries to tell you that an enclosure is too big, they're also either high off their asses or need to reevaluate how they keep their reptiles.

Corn snakes need a basking spot surface temperature of 30-32 (measured by a temperature gun), a warm side ambient temperature of 25-27, and a cool side temperature of 23-24 (measured by a digital thermometer). Use air conditioning and/or fans to bring down the temperature, and make sure the heat lamp is regulated by a dimming thermostat.

No, heat mats are not an adequate heat source. They do nothing for ambient temps and produce the wrong kind of heat. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option. They produce IRA and IRB like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively than heat mats. Whereas heat mats only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. Look into the research of Dr. Frances Baines and Roman Muryn (reptile heating and lighting experts) for more information.

My corn snake is about 4ft long (we’ve had him for a while, his name is shakey), how big of an enclosure do you think he would need? This is one factor we’re struggling with, we’re not sure whether his cage (which is just a glass tank basically) is big enough or not.

At least a 40 gallon enclosure for a snake of that size. However, that's the bare minimum, and I'd recommend a 67 gallon enclosure at least, or even a 120 gallon enclosure if you have the space for it.

@@thederpyfish8365 Garter snakes are social animals, and I've heard Fox snakes allegedly are too. Most other snakes.....you could maybe get away for an extended period of time if they're females of a similar size, have been raised together from an early age, and are in a massive enclosure, but even that's still really risky. Cohabing should only be for master snake keepers, and even that's still a risk.

Absolutely! Just make sure there’s plenty of clutter and plant coverage, and not too much open space. Also make sure the enclosure is completely escape proof. It may be more difficult to find the snake until they grow, but juveniles will thrive in a large enclosure as long as it’s properly furnished :)

@@oddelf7988 You can get away with a 40 gallon enclosure with a male corn snake, but it's the bare minimum. For a corn snake to live it's best life I'd recommend a 67 gallon (48*18*18) at least (emphases on at least, there's no such thing as a tank that's too big, that's a dumb myth), especially for a 5 footer female, who probably exceeds a 40 gallon enclosure.

@@nightinggale6470 Actually, I've read that the minimum is the length and width of the tank combined equating the full length of the snake, while the snake's length plus half the snake's length is the minimum desired size (emphases on minimum, as there's no such thing as an enclosure that's too big, that's a stupid myth). For an example, a 4.5 foot long snake could live just fine in a 40 gallon enclosure. However, that's literally the bare minimum, and it would probably be better to move to, say a 120 gallon enclosure. I'd say a 40 gallon enclosure is the bare minimum for a male corn snake, though it would be better to move up to a 67 or 120 gallon enclosure. Females, in my opinion, just simply get too big for a 40 gallon enclosure whatsoever, and I'd say 67 gallons is the bare minimum.

Heat mats are not a good heat source, overhead heating is much better for them. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer or dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial heat source, since they produce infrared A and B like the sun.

@@littlehawk299 CHEs are not a good primary heat source unfortunately. A halogen flood bulb connected to a dimmer/dimming thermostat is the most natural and beneficial option, Arcadia’s deep heat projector is the second best option. They produce infrared A and B like the sun, heat that penetrates deep into the skin tissue and heats them far more effectively. Whereas CHEs only produce IRC, which only heats the surface of their skin. CHEs are good for nighttime heat, though. And ball pythons absolutely benefit from UVB, they do not spend all their time underground.

WAY TOO SMALL. 40 gallon (36*18*16) enclosure for an average size male, bare minimum, a 67 gallon (48*18*18) enclosure for a large male or really any female, bare minimum. Might even need a 120 gallon (48*24*24) if a female get's REALLY big. Keep in mind, bigger is always better, you could house your corn snake in a 210 gallon (72*24*30) enclosure and your snake isn't going to get "stressed out" or "scared". I have my 1 year old corn snake in a 40 gallon enclosure, which was apparently "too big" according to the one of the workers at prehistoric pets, and guess what, she loves that thing.

It depends on the heat pad. I have a small 9 watt that literally does not get hotter than 30c. I tried getting a thermometer, but it did nothing seeing that the heat pad maxes out at about 30c.
