Corn Snake Tank

Do you think that the tank in this ad is a good size for a adult corn snake? I might be getting a corn snake and I want to get a tank that can last till he is an adult.

Re: Corn Snake Tank

Ok thanks. What do you think would be a perfect size? Dimension wise not in gallons?

Re: Corn Snake Tank

Yes, that tank would be adequate for an adult corn. It's a 20 gallon long tank, which is the recommended minimum size for adult corns.

Re: Corn Snake Tank

Yes but kinda small my nelson almost 5 foot and a full grown corn will most likely get as big or close to my nelson so why not save up and get a bigger tank give your snake more room

As I said, it's the recommended minimum. So yes, of course you can always go bigger, but that tank will be adequate for most corns. Also, some corns stay small and some get huge. It all depends on the individual snake...

Re: Corn Snake Tank

I used to have my adult corn in a 30 gallon and very happy. I even think she could've been happy in a 20 gallons without any problems. I'd agree that a 20 gallon long is the minimum for an adult corn, but bigger is better.

Re: Corn Snake Tank

That price is pretty steep. I just sold a 4'x13"x18" (55 gallon) for $100.

Re: Corn Snake Tank

I would never pay $100 for a 55 gallon tank. That's insane! You can go to petco and get a brand new 20 gal for $20 , 30 gal for $30 , 40 gal for $40 and so one. I never pay more than $1 a gallon.
