Hi again guys,
thought i would start a new thread as not sure how many would read other one now...
So im deff getting valentine at the weekend....
He is 3 years old and 4ft long..... apparently he lives in a large glass tank at the moment??
Will it be ok to change him into a rub, if the tank is to big for my room at the moment (as im going to havea change round soon to fit some vivs in in the future)
and if so what L rub would you recommend for a 4ft corny??
Lastly ... IM SOOO EXCITED SHES GORGEOUS :) |

33l at a push, 50l is adequate, 64l is a palace  
all the above have the same floor space it's just the height that varies |

Ohhh cool thanks, i was like i have nooo idea, and if its going from a large tank... then id go for the 64l :) as i dont want to shock it, i will keep it in glass tank (if it fits where i need it) but if not a need a B plan.... does it not bother snakes where they live then as long as its not 2 big ?? and does it dot bother them, if they cant see out properly... because are the clear ones properly see through ??
Thanks for your help gingerpony, you are a life saver :) |

you can still see them and them see out of the standard RUBs so they get enough daylight to know when it's day or night, if you're just using a RUB (ie. not in an enclosed rack) i'd recommend covering 3 sides just like you would with a glass tank so they don't feel exposed or insecure.
the lids clip down securely and although there's air gaps where the lid sits on top a juvie or adult can't escape, though i have known youngsters get out of the air gaps in 4l RUBs!! |

My dad was also scared of my corn snake I had many years ago. 
When I used to take him out for exercise (my snake, not my dad) my dad would say "Oh! Worm's out" from the safety of the next room. Big Jessie. |
