Good Evening Everyone,
I have a Snow Corn Snake (Pearl) who is approx 6 months old. I was thinking about buying a new Vivarium for her as she is currently in a starter Vivarium size being 16inchs long and 8 inch’s wide. Pearl is 16inchs long. Is there any recommendation of when we should change there vivariums and is it ok to move them into one that is 3 foot long. Thanks for any advice in advance.

A rule of thumb is when the snake is as long as the length + width of the viv (in your case, 24")

You could, remember that they are generally agoraphobic and like small spaces, so if you do move into a larger viv now I'd suggest filling it with loads of hides, plants etc.

As always, BE is right. As log nas the snake isn't over the length of the bottom right corner to the top left, they're fine :)
