The reason im confused is that they say the baby is set up fine, so just curious as to why they are not sure how to set up the adults tank, if you get what I mean

Myyyy eyes!
I nearly died reading that!
You don't need a uv light at all, petshop advice should mostly be ignored, so from now, forget what they told you. There is plenty of info on here in the stickies for setting up a viv, mostly I think your on the right track, add a stat and you'll be flying in no time. |

Took a while to decipher that but picked up on this. The heatmat needs to go on the base of the viv not on the side as it is designed to heat what it is touching not the air.
There is a fab sticky somewhere about setting up an adult corn.

I really don't want to sound rude but its really difficult to help when we can't actually work out what your saying. I do understand that there are circimstances where people struggle to put what they are thinking into words. We are not looking for perfect grammar and spelling but some punctuation and flow is required.
Littlemick put together a setting up an adult guide http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10789&SearchTerms=setting,up,an,adult
In all honesty the setup required is the same as the hatchling, just scaled up to an appropriate size.
