Firstly, Hi, and welcome to the forum. 
That equates to roughly a 3ft tank.
That'll be to big for the snake, he'll feel insecure because of the size, which could make him nervous and potentially nippy.
Can you partition it? or get a smaller plastic tank? you can pick up a little one from places like Wilkos for about a fiver.
General rule for tank sizes is Length of snake=length+depth of tank. |

heya and welcome
like Kehhlyr said, the viv is far too big. usually you'd want to give a pet the most amount of space possible but with reptiles space isn't neccesarily a good thing! |

It could be partitioned, but that will mean having to section off a third of the tank, and putting snakies setup in the third.
It'd just look a bit weird, thats all. |

What is the rough size guide for corns??
Get a big one, partition it off? How big for a baby and adult? |

A hatchling snake at 12inches long, would be ideally in a 8x4x4 inch min size faun, up to about 10x6x4/6 (MAX)
An adult though, again it depends on the length of the adult. Average adult length is between 3 and 4 feet, so a 3x1x1 foot viv should be ok for a 'average' sized single corn.
But this is still a guideline though, some fauns are different dimensions, but it gives the rough idea. |
