Lovely snake, but a perfect example of why big vivs aren't great for little snakes. Wedge some cardboard in the gap.
That bulb needs a guard too |

Lol, don't get me started on "the man in the shop", so much bad advice out there!
So do you house the 2 of them together? |

Definitely split them up. That viv could easily be partitioned into 2 halves for them. |

Take out the UV, its not needed for corns, put the mat in the middle with a divider cut to fit over the top. |

Zebedee is definitely a stunning snake! And is showing just how bright corns are ! My viv is like yours and instead of using cardboard I used a paper binder on the inside edge (have mentioned this in your welcome post). Means that it softens the edge of the glass when they rub their noses against it trying to escape and it slides easily when you need to open the doors.
I definitely agree with everything Sexybear has said....and would say that dividing the viv is your best option as it is really too big for a snake that size, whereas halved it would be perfect for Zebedee and Coraline to have their own homes. Then you have that starter kit ready for you to rescue that hatchling from 'the man in the shop' !

Sorry, was just testing. If you put img tags on the links then the pictures will show.
All you have to do is put [*img] on the front of the link and [*/img] on the end.
Minus the stars that is.
Nice pic though
