I read that you are meant to have a smaller viv for small snakes, is this suitable and how long would it be suitable to keep the snake in?

sounds like a good little starter kit
i don't know the dimensions of the E-T faun the kit includes but as a general guide for corns....

length + depth (of enclosure) = maximum length of snake

(but this is just a guide)

cornsnakes, ratsnakes, bullsnakes, boas and day geckos

I feel it looks like a nice little home to let one grow if i decide to invest.

46cm + 30 cm = 76cm so it would be fine till your snake is about 2'6" long

I've seen it too but it probably refers to some towns in USA (Los Angeles) where their tap water is not fit for consumption.

as a general guide i got told is if you measure 1xlonger side and 1xshorter side, add them together and thats the ideal size your snake can stay in it, but to be honest i reckon it could be used for much longer than that, corn like small enclosures as they are natural aggrophobics

and i started on bottled water but soon gave up (like a couple of days after) because i cant see or taste any difference and i dont think the snake would be harmed
