I think it's perfectly fine to start a hatchling in an adult sized enclosure as long as you provide plenty of hides and lots of cover. Best wishes with your corn.
I agree with EZ's comments. I will be housing a hatchling eastern king snake in a 48 in wide, 24 inch deep, 15 inch tall enclosure. Plenty of cover is the key. And a thermostat controlled heat source is a must. Welcome btw! Keep us posted.

I've ordered a Habistat thermostat to keep my heat mat in check and I've been told they're the best brand. Thank you will do!
