| the one i have, is a 36" X 15" X 15". This should be large enough to house your corn up to its full size. And i think that 4ft by 2ft is a rip off. Unless it is made of gold or something, i would look and get something much cheaper. My one was £90 and if i bought it from the wholesaler, it would have been £77. |

| Most people end up with a 3 or 4 ft viv eventually, £350 is alot of money you can buy a 4ft plus all the set up for less than that new if you look around or keep youe eye out for a second hand full set up if your not in a hurry. Either that or look in to building one, there are loads of examples in the how to stickys. |

A 3x2x2 should be fine, a standard 4ft is usually only 15 inches deep so it's about the same floor space really. |

| 3 ft is alright for an adult corn. I wouldn't go much bigger unless you have a monster sized corn. No point stressing them out in a big viv. |
