Hatchlings:
Small sandwich box & heater in 1/3. Set at 31-32*C. Hatchlings feed on pinky mice 1 - 2 x a wk.
Adult
36" x 18" x 18" is ideal. Heating mat under 1/3 of the Tank. Feed prey just slightly larger than the largest GIRTH of the snake.

i would suggest checking some reputable care sheets on corn snakes or perhaps most ideally, buy the book, "The Corn Snake Manual" by Cathy Love. i would agree with waht spyderman said... hatchlings are on pinkies every 5 days (other's go every 7 days, some every 4 days, that's just what I go by). as for enclosure size, I think a 30 gallon is a good minimum size for an adult. though, the more floor space you can offer would be better...cheers, and good luck. ask a TON of questions...
