the rubs are the same width as they are in length she is about a ft to a ft and a half*oiff top of my head* in length

I mean length + width of the RUBs eg. a viv may be 36x18.

May be better to consider it properly when you get back home but if she isn't yet longer than the length + width of the RUB she is in then she is perfectly fine in that RUB.

Depending on how big your corn is and how much bigger the new tank is he may be ok to move up but without knowing what your snake is like and how big he and the RUBs are i couldn't really help you out.

When you think she can manage a small fuzzy or fluff which is around the same girth as her widest part you could move her up.

You could move her into the bigger rub when she is around the same length as the the length + Width of the rub she is currently in.

How big is your corn and how big in inches are the 2 RUBs?

Edit: Gmac must have posted as i started typing.

the largest size of mouse you can offer your snake is 1 and a half times your snakes width at is thickest point, so you can move her up mouse sizes as suits.

The rub width + length should be larger than the length of your corn, when your corn is bigger than the length + width its time to upsize.
