hi my new corn is around 13 inches long and in a 12 x 8 viv. im going to buy him some plants and stuff to keep him occupied but am conscious of overcrowding the tank as its only small, how much is too much? what would you guys recommend for me to put in there for him?

He'll want a hide in both warm and cool ends. Plants will be ok. Maybe some sort of branch to climb on, some like to climb. Cardboard tubes from toilet/kitchen rolls normally go down well. Don't worry about overcrowding it , young snakes like lots of places to shelter and hide.
