Do u have some sort of light so it can tell from night and day?

Like burmese said, you might need something to control the temperature, either manually, such as a rheostat, or an automatic controller, such as a thermostat.

As for light.... well you need to show your corn that it is either night or day. You don't need to have specific enclosure lights (I don't) but I keep mine in the room where I usually stay, therefore the corns sleep when I wake up and vice versa.

Hope this helped a bit

Congrats! I got my snow corn about a month and a half ago, they're awsome. Real nice to look at. As long as there's a window in the room the snake should get the day/night cycle good enough. But I use a 50 watt red bulb so she gets heat and I can see her at night. As far as decor goes, there can be as little or as less as you want. It all depends on how nice you want it to look. Tho that stuff ain't needed. Yeah, you're probly gonna need a thermometer of some sort, like they said. Oh and this is very important, clips for the top. Corns are insane, and genuises at escape. I use 4 tank clips placed on the cage, it holds it down nice. All I do is unlatch them when I want to get her out. Those are like $1.50 each.
Enjoy your corn.
