Mr paulasparky has been talking about getting a tv and unit after xmas, which means we will have a nice sturdy bookcase free and I was thinking of turning it into a viv.
Im going to flip it on its side, so the measurements will be 32 inch long by 11 inches deep 29 inches tall. Would this be big enough for an adult corn? I know its a few inches off the recomended, but will Bam be botherd by that?
If its ok, just saves me alot of money and time lol

thats about the same size as what mojo lives in, I personally think its too small for a fully grown snake and will be building a bigger viv when he gets older. IMO...

36x15x15 is ment to be minimun for corns when reaching an adultish size n saves on ya changing vivs each time.. or could just go 4ftx2ftx2ft.. which is what i think ill be going, unless i build arboreal.

well in that case you could build that viv from bookcase and he could live in it for quite a while. Mojo is getting on for year old, and not planing on change his viv for while yet. intermediate viv ;), just an idea...
