Well, the local shop I work at, have said a small vivarium. (Unsure on dimensions sorry!) Would keep 2 adult corns as the cage has to be half it's size.
Is this correct, as with the viv I'm thinking of getting a smaller one at first to keep it in for a while. |

| A two foot might be classed as a small one, depends what its compared to, but i would not keep two adults in a two foot viv. |

| Yeah, I'll probably get a 3-4ft Viv for 2 adults. But a smaller viv for Jeff when he's young. |

doesn't sound great to be honest, as a guide most people use:
length of viv + depth of viv = length of snake
so a viv measuring 36" and 12 " si suitable for a snake for up to 48" long |

| You want a 3ft minimum for a 4ft snake. if i was housing two adults i would get a 4x1x2/4x2x2 that sort of size. |

The 4x2x2 is foot?
4 = Wide
2 = High
2 = Vert Length? |

| Would it stress my younger corn too much if I put him straight into it? He's about 4 months. |

| So it'd be a wiser idea, for now at his size, move into a smaller vivarium then within 2-3 years a larger 4 footer one? |

i moved cecil from a 16" perfecto viv into a 2' viv when he was 11 months old and reached 2' in length, then when he gets ready to move upto 3' coco can take over the 2' viv.
see there is method in my madness!!! |
lost track of the day's now, but I'm getting my amel stripe corn on the 2nd of August!!! |

| I just bought a second hand 4 foot viv to tidy up and move my Corn into as soon as he is ready, but it will be a while yet, I might divide half of it off with some ply or something so he can move in there sooner. |

As long there are a lot of hides for him I think he should be ok - I put mine in a 3 ft viv when she was quite young but it was really cluttered with different hides! in the wild it is a vast area but they just move around from one hide to another. |

| I am of the opinion that more room is good as long as there are plenty of hides. In the wild they have no problem with the entire American continent as their "vivarium". |

| But these are captive breds, so it's innate to be in a tank without full freedom. :P |
