Hello, i am hoping to get an hatchling cornsnake soon and was hoping that someone could tell me everything i need to keep the hatchling all the way up till when the snake is an adult, at the minute i have:
a heatmat
vivarium
hide
false plants
climbing branch thing,
i was wondering more about the heating and sizes of vivariums and whether they will be able to stay in a viv to begin with or would have to stay in a RUB to begin with and whether they would be able to stay there throughout there life obviously increasing the size, which is the better option... thanks

to be honest you are better off buying a RUB or a faun if you are getting a hatchling, they tend to prefer smaller spaces (and it means when snakey is in his big viv you can think about filling the faun with another snake )
you need to also make sure you have - a thermostat which will regulate the temp of the heatmat, also some digital thermometers - the dial ones are rubbish
