It's supposed to be 1/3 the length of the snake minimum, so assuming the corn would reach between 4-6ft, going for approx 5ft, then I'd say at least 20 inches.

i work at a local pet shop and if someone had a fully grown corn i wouldn't sell them anything smaller that a 3ft viv. but tbh if you have a 4ft snake you could get away with a 2ft viv.

The typical height for a 3' viv is 15". This gives enough room for a shelf and logs for climbing.

The new vivexotic viva repti stax range are around 34widex15deepx16 inch high and these are suitable for snakes I presume. Hope so as I have ordered one the same size for cola.
