hello. I posted a little while ago about my new corn and a few weeks later and She is getting on brilliantly, more and more confident everyday... We were told she was 5 months old and she is 18inches long at the moment. We have her in a small plastic home about 14in by 10in by 7in. She seems happy enough but i was wondering what age or size we should consider getting a full size viv. Oh and here is her highness





thanks

She looks a beaut!... 14"x10" should be ok till she is around 24" (length x width = length of snake)

Some people get something a bit bigger, or some people get what they are going to house them in once adult, but if you do the latter, you either need to cram the viv full of hides, plants etc so they have very little open space, or section off a part of the viv, and move the section to enlarge the space periodically as they grow....J

that should be length + depth of viv = maximum length of snake
14" + 10" = 24" snake
