Corn Snake question

[lady_bug87]

I've decided to move my sub adult Ball into the 35 gal tank he seemed ok in it until I looked at him today and was like nope time to move him, hes getting big now and Its better for him to be in a bigger enclosure

but now I have an empty 20 gal, my question is would a corn be happy in there?

I think a corn would be happy in there for a long time. I'm not sure if it can stay in there as an adult but My corn is almost a year old and he could easily be in a 20 gal for a few years. He is in a 10 gal now ( im building him a wooden viv)

Yes, an adult corn can live in a 20g for life however it would be best in a bigger enclosure. It'll be fine as long as you let him/her out regularly.

thanks we let my ball out all the time I just think he would be happier in a bigger tank and the corn would be out a bunch because the 20 gal is in my husband's home office and he always likes having a reptile out while hes working

I think a corn would be good they seem more active than my ball who hides all the time

They definitely are. The times I've held a ball each time they just curled up and laid still. But with my corn he's pretty much giving me a workout trying to keep up.
