sorry, not very helpful
as a guide length of viv + depth of viv = maximum length of snake
so a 3ft long and 1 ft deep wide viv is ok for a corn up to 4ft long

as a minimum size guide i'd say the snake should be about as long as the viv you're moving it into, if that makes sense?

Yep, but you wouldn't want to put a corn under 3 ft in a viv that size as it may feel 'lost' and stop eating.
