Hi Guys,

Ive currently got 3 corns together in one top opening tank thats 3ft x 18" x 18". Theyve been in this tank together for a fair while and have all lived happily together since they were young. Theyre all a couple of years old and are reaching around 4ft in length.

What size Viv would i be best going up to? Suggestions and ideas most welcome.

Cheers

Personally I wouldn't cohabit them.
My adults are in 3ft vivs.

great link Auld, its a good read.

There are more reasons to keep them in separate vivs and no benefit in keeping them together.
They would be fine in a standard 3ft. viv.
This link is a bit easier to read on the pros & cons of co-habitting.

have a read of this: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1070
its a long thread but it will help you to decide if you think you would rather have them all together or house them indivudually. If you do chose to keep the together then I would guess you would want at least a 4x2x2 but I house mine separatly so am not expert in cohabitting.

I'd say at bare minimum to make sure they are all happy and have enough space to get away from each other/in case they reach 6ft probably a 5'x3'x3'. Bigger is always better though.

So you would recommend 3 seperate 3foot vivs? I know some people say you can keep them together and some people recommend keeping them on their own, but potentially how big would i need for all 3?

They should be in their own 3ft vivs which is normally on for adults unless you have a huge one.
