Re: I have a 7 year old jungle corn snake...
Welcome, Jungle corns have the same needs and requirements of "normal" corns. So you need a 3 or 4foot viv, 86f hot spot, couple of hides minimum, waterbowl etc etc
Any specific questions just let us know - lots of corn owners on here!

hot spot is important but remember to add a temperature gradient so the snake can cool or heat himself as he needs.

Re: I have a 7 year old jungle corn snake...
hi and welcome to the wonderful world of snake keeping, corns snakes are brilliant "beginner" snake as they are relatively easy to care for and readily accepts regular handling from (excuse the expression) novices and those who r nervous.
what you would need to know is, the viv should be 4ft (depends on the actual size of the snake), there should be a maximum hot spot temp of 28-29c (heat mats is better - also known as UTH), cool end around the 20c (soz but i dont know the conversion from celcius to far.), fresh water at least every other day, at least 1 hide - although its recommended to have 1 at each end (1 in warm end and the other in the cool end), thas really about it, the substrate cant be sand, but theres aspen, wood chips (beech) out there or u can go for the really cheap option and use paper towel, its upto your taste and wants what is inside the viv aslong as the above requirements are met.
soz for the long winded reply btw lol

Re: I have a 7 year old jungle corn snake...
I would just say that Corns only need a 3foot viv - they can be in a four foot viv but three is fine for their whole lives.

Agreed. A 20 gallon long tank is considered the standard minimum for an adult corn.

Re: I have a 7 year old jungle corn snake...
I keep my 2 jungles at a slightly higher warm end temp like kings so around 32c.
I have found my 2 to be like corns in the way they handle but like kings in every other way especially feeding response!
3ft viv is usually fine for an adult although mine are kept in rubs.
